Yes, I meant "the class", but I'm a bit weak on nomenclature in
Python;-)

Sorry, you lost me there: what means "code those arguments
directly into the handle method"? According to the documen-
tation (or at least to my understanding of it;-) the handle()
method is suppose to accept just one argument, 'self'. And
even if I would change the method to accept more arguments
and that wouldnt blow up into my face, where would they be
coming from (and from where would I pass them)?
