Reference to self not passed to member function

[James Stroud]

Hello All,

I did this:

py> class bob(object):
...   def __init__(self,**kwargs):
...     for fname,func in kwargs.items():
...       setattr(self, fname, lambda *args : func(*args))
...
py> def doit():
...   print "wuzzup?"
...
py> abob = bob(doit=doit)
py>
py> abob.doit()
wuzzup?


Much to my surprise, this works fine. 

My questions:

1. What exactly is going on?
2. How can I get ref to self passed to doit() if I want it to? This:

        abob.doit(abob)

   seems like the hard way

Any ideas?

James
