Yes.

Ok. I won't ask how you would call a method of
another class passing something other than the
current instance in place of an implicit self -
probably you'd have an answer, and if you didn't
it would be a slightly contrived question anyway.

I can't help it, I have to ask. All the examples
so far have been a little special, like the
"other" class is an ancestor. Can a person do
something equivalent to

AnyClassAtAll.AMethod(AnyInstanceOfAnyOtherClass)

with an implicit self? (It just seems to me that
an explicit self _must_ be more general than
an implicit self, allowing _something_ that an
implicit self doesn't. Maybe not.)

Besides, I was wondering how you'd do it in Python,
not in C++. (haha)

Oh, dejanews lets you add a sig - that's useful...
