In Python, the first argument of an instance method is the instance on 
which it has to operate [1]. IOW, your problem is with the definition of 
calculate(). You want:

class DontKnowWhat(object):
   def calculate(self, data):
     # code here

[1] you don't have to pass this argument - this will be handled by 
Python - but you need to declare it.
