Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'player' is not defined
You are getting 'player' is not defined because player variable needs to exist as a Player() object before you can try to call .name on it. Also your next error will have to do with .name() name is an attribute inside the Player class not a method. Methods normally have parenthesis.
So if you did something like this before calling player.name
player = Player()
player.name
it should contain the name you input into it.
