using the filter function within class return error

[david.katkowski at ddiworld.com]

I'm trying to use the __builtin__ filter function within a class;
however, I receive the following error:

NameError: global name 'MajEthnic' is not defined

The line of code is: EthMaj = filter(self.MajEthnic,flist)

So, I'm trying to use the MajEthnic function to filter the list flist.
Any ideas?

Thanks!
