No, a method is a function that's a part of a class (and has the
instance of the class passed in as the first argument).  Perhaps you
meant "procedure," which is a common name for a function which has no
return value (i.e., a function which is called only for its side
effects), but still this distinction doesn't apply too well to Python
since _every_ function, whether it explicitly returns or not, returns a
value -- if it implicitly returns then the value returned is None.
