Importing here is unusual. Unless you have good reasons to do so, I suggest you put the imports on top of the file.

    trans = string.maketrans("GATC","CTAG")


    def __init__(self, template = "GATTACA"):
        self.template = template  //shouldn't this make "template"
accessible within the scope of "rawDNA"??

No.

    def noncoding(self):
        print template.translate(trans)  //

This needs to be

  print self.template.translate(trans)

Ah, sorry, that should have been

  self.template.translate(self.trans)
