binding a method to an instance?

[Steven D. Arnold]

Hi,

I'm trying to bind a method to an instance like this:

class foo:

    def __init__( self ):
        def abc( self ):
            print "hello"
        self.bar = abc

i = foo()
i.bar()

Unfortunately, when I run the last line, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: abc() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)

Apparently `abc' looks like a regular function and not a bound method.
How can I make it appear as a bound method in my instance?
