Object-oriented python, create a class named Student... What am I doing wrong?

I've tried a lot of things and this is where I am at right now, please help.

student.py 
class Student(name):
    def __init__(self, Lora):
        def name (self.name = 'Lora')

The task only ask for you to create a class with a name-attribute, so you don't need the methods.

Simply take away the methods (the functions inside of the class), and add a name-attribute.

Also: When you are making a stand-alone class you don't need to add anything to the parentheses, since this is where you put in the parent-class that you want to build the class upon.
