defining a method inside of another method

This is probably a trivial question, but it's driving me crazy:
I have a class that has methods that look like this:
class Eggs:
def keep(self, inlist):
keepers = filter(self.choose, inlist)
mn = {}
for name, stuff, idont, careabout in keepers:
mn[name] = ()
def mystacks(dict = mn):
return dict.copy()
self.stacker = mystacks
return keepers
Both keep and stacker get called as self.keep(inlist) and self.stacker() in
other methods, and they both work like they're supposed to. In keep, I have
2 names in the header, and self gets passed in as the first argument- but
if self were being passed in as the first argument to stacker wouldn't it
overwrite dict and mess up mystacks ??? Where does it go? What am I missing?
Thanks!
Felix
