This is not a bug, this is documented behavior.  The first argument to
instance methods is the instance, it is automatically passed to the method
when it is invoked.

Try:

class cl:
    def f(self, m):
        print self
        for i in m:
            print i

c=cl()
m1 = range(5,10)
c.f(m1)

Peace,
