The def header, including default arg expression, is 'executed' to
construct the function and is not part of the body executed when the
constructed function is executed.  When the function is created,
'self' is just a name not yet bould to anything.  What you want is
...handle = None): followed by
a first line of 'if handle == None: handle = self.GetNewHandle'.
