Thank you for the reply. I tried defining them in the form of 'int 
weaponId' but that didn't help. I finally put it in this form 
'weaponId=0" and it liked that. So, i updated the class file to be as 
follows -

<file: class_weapon.py>

class weapon:
      weaponId=0
      manufacturerName=""

      def printWeaponInfo(self):
          infoString = "ID: %d Mfg: %s " % (self.weaponId, 
self.manufacturerName)
          return infoString

The second file now looks like this -

<file: weaponTrack.py>

import class_weapon
MyWeapon=class_weapon.weapon
MyWeapon.weaponId = 100
MyWeapon.manufacturerName = "Glock"

print(MyWeapon.printWeaponInfo)

so now, when I run 'python3 weaponTrack.py', I get <function 
weapon.printWeaponInfo at 0x7f2bd3ae7510>, but am expecting

ID: 100 Mfg: Glock ...
