Hi guru's,
New to the list. I bought O'Reilly's Learning Python (3rd edition for
2.5) a while back. Slowly making my way through it and was pleasantly
surprised that Python seems easier than C. Until...I bumped into the
"self" thingy.
Can anyone please point me to a document that explains "self" in
layman's terms. Or lacking such a doc throw in a much appreciated
layman's explanation what "self" is and when/where to use it?
In the book (so far) I've seen "self" pop up in these examples (on pages
457 and 458):
class C1(C2, C3):
def setname(self, who)
self.name = who
class C1(C2, C3):
def __init__(self, who)
self.name = who
Thanks for any pointers!
Regards,
Patrick
