But it _is_ always passed to the function. You can even pass
it explicity when you call the method if you want:
#!/usr/bin/python
class MyClass:
def mymethod(self,p1,p2):
print self,p1,p2
instance = MyClass()
MyClass.mymethod(instance,1,2)
instance.mymethod(1,2)
The two calls are equivalent.

You would be misleading yourself.
