self is the class instance that the bound function being called belongs
to. This example should illustrate a bit.
class Foo(object):
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value # so the Foo instance now has an attribute,
value
def get_value(self):
return self.value # This gets the previously-set value
attribute of the Foo instance
bar = Foo(42)
baz = Foo('101010')
print bar.get_value() #Note that the self argument is implicit since
this is a bound method.
print
print baz.get_value()
The output is (or should be, as this is untested):
42
101010
