This is something fairly fundamental to Python programming, so you have 
to make sure that you understand how this works.

When you have a class with a method:

class Foo:
     def bar(self, x):
         print x

And you call that method on an instance of the class:

f = Foo()
f.bar("abc")

The instance, f, is automatically passed as the first argument to the 
function before any other arguments that are provided in the call. 
Therefore, when you declare methods in a class they must have a "self" 
parameter as the first parameter.

There's more to this than I've explained here so you should read a 
Python book or online manual.

Ciao,
Gordon
