(While I'm criticizing, I should point out that your quoting
seems doublespaced. That makes me suspect buggy googlegroups.
If you're using that, you should either find a real newsreader,
use the mailing list, or manually fix the double spacing.
Hundres of posts on here about it, just search out one of
them)

Certainly not. A method is a very specic kind of function, you'll
learn about it when you study classes. Some languages blur the
distinction, by not having any functions outside of classes. But
that's not Python.
