Very nice effort, just a a few corrections needed to make this work.

# class.py

from math import *   # for pi

class Sphere:

    def __init__(self, radius):   # use double underline on both endes of init
        self.radius = radius

    def getRadius(self):
        return self.radius

    def surfaceArea(self):
        self.area = 4.0 * pi * self.radius ** 2
        return self.area

    def volume(self):
        self.volume = 4.0 / 3.0 * pi * self.radius ** 3
        return self.volume


# main is not part of class, so indent properly
def main():
    r = input('Enter the radius of the sphere ')
    s = Sphere(r)
    print 'The surface area of the sphere is: ', s.surfaceArea()
    print 'The volume of the sphere is: ', s.volume()

main()

I commented on the problems, hope you understand them.
