the name of the file and the name of the class (for my experience) should match, so if the file is called "Environments.py" your class should be called "Environments" this because once that you import it in robot framework you will call directly the method "getBaseUrl" or "getFullUrlForEclaimsHome".

Plus you are missing () on your class definition:

class TestUrl():

EXAMPLE:

My Python file called: Tree.py

from anytree import Node, RenderTree

class Tree ():
    def generate_tree (self,db_server,db_table,db_username, db_password):
        DO_SOMETHING

    def retrieve_tree_info (self,db_server,db_table,db_username, db_password, tree_ID):
        DO_SOMETHING
        return (SOMETHING)

MY Robot Framework File:

*** Settings ***
Library           YOUR_LIBRARY
Resource          YOUR_RESOURCE
Library           ../External Library/Tree.py #PATH TO YOUR Tree.py FILE

   #NOTE: If you use some IDLE (I'm using RED) it give you suggestion about the method name, in my example the IDLE call it in a bit different way than it was called in the python file
*** Variables ***
YOUR_VARIABLE

*** Test Cases ***
Create tree
    DO_SOMETHING
    ${tree}=    Retrieve Tree Info    ${db_server}    ${db_name}    ${db_user}    ${db_password}    ${tree_ID}
    DO_SOMETHING

Verify Locations tree
    DO_SOMETHING
    ${tree}=    Retrieve Tree Info    ${db_server}    ${db_name}    ${db_user}    ${db_password}
    DO_SOMETHING
