That's something that I also don't understand, but I'm just a beginner 
in python, coming from java and C#, where this is not necessary. It 
seems to me quite annoying having to write this "self" each time, and I 
think it makes the code less readable. I have googled a little to see if 
there is an explanation to this particularity, with no sucess, so I will 
pay much attention to the answers here...
