[Tutor] Questions on 'records and structs' from tutorial...

[montana]

Section 9.7 of:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node11.html

talks of creating data types similar to Pascal's record or C's struct.  I tried the example but when I entered:

class Employee:
	pass

john = Employee()

i got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'Employee' is not defined


Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks.
