Qualify setfname as self.setfname. In addition to that, the instance method setfname should have self as the first parameter.

class Person(object):
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.setfname(fname)
    #   ^^^^^
    def setfname(self, fname):
    #            ^^^^^^
        self._fname = fname
