Arh bugger. I don't disagree, and I made the typical typo that I often 
do when creating classes.

I forgot to add self as the prameter. So my example should have looked like:

class ProjectScheduler:

     pi = 3.14

     def setEstimatedTime(self, hours):
         self.estimatedTime = hours

     def calculateRealisticTime(self, estimatedTime):
         # rebinding vars to make the calculation easier on the eye
         pi            = self.pi
         estimatedTime = self.estimatedTime
         # the formula
         realisticTime = estimatedTime * pi
         # return result
         return realisticTime

/me slapping himself on forehead repeatedly
