Don't worry, *I* do exactly know what's going on !-)

But we all here know that newbies already tend to get confused (or at 
least perplexed) by the error message they get when they forgot the self 
argument in methods definition... FWIW, I did experiment this situation 
a couple years ago, whith a coworker that, while proficient with C and 
Perl, was somewhat new to Python. He banged his head against the wall 
for near an hour before asking for help, and it took me quite a couple 
of minutes to figure out what was going wrong.
