Right, that is the correct way to invoke a method on an object.

You must then have access to the Protocol object. Let's pass that as
another parameter:
def initiate_computation(self, protocol, code):
and then do
protocol.some_function(code)

Somewhere -- maybe here -- you must invoke the initiate_computation
method in MyFunctions. Otherwise it cannot wish to call the
Protocol.some_function method.
If __init__ is that place, then do it like this:
myfunc = MyFunctions()
myfunc.initiate_computation(self, "code...")
Here self is a reference to the Protocol object, exactly what
initiate_computation needs in the MyFunctions class.
By the way, if MyFunctions only contain functions, then you might not
need a class at all. Python is much more free-form than, say, Java in
this way -- in Java you must put "static" functions into a class,
whereas you can just put them in a module in Python.
I hope that makes some sense, otherwise please ask again :-)
