Enter

import person
person.__file__

in idle's shell. There may be another file called person.py which is 
imported instead of the one you intended.

import person

you want to access a name in the person module you have to use the qualified 
name, e. g.

tom = person.Manager('parias lunkamaba', 'mgr', 500000)
