Creating a class in Python 3 "Takes no parameters" error

Question

I'm leaning python and tried this code to test my 1st bit of OOP coding but I'm not sure how to fix this pesky error. This example of from Learning Python by mark Lutz 4th edition - Page 650. Any ideas?

#File person.py (start)

class Person:
    def __int__(self, name, job=None, pay=0):
        self.name = name
        self.job = job
        self.pay = pay

bob = Person('Bob Smith')  #test the class
sue = Person('Sue Jones', job='dev', pay=100000)
print (bob.name, bob.pay)
print (sue.name, sue.pay)

Yeilds the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "FILELOCATION/person.py", line 8, in bob = Person('Bob Smith') #test the class TypeError: object.new() takes no parameters

You've misspelled __init__ as __int__. Does the error make sense in light of this?
