OK, now that you asked for an example of a class using 'self', I can't
find it..so either the thing I was reading was wrong... or I dreamed it

Can anyone explain what I've been reading? I'm trying to understand why

and others show:
def myMetheod(self, vars)
or
class myClass(self, vars)
Either way seems to work fine, so I'm not sure what it ha
