confused about self, why not a reserved word?

[globalrev]

sorry i noticed now a little error, i was playing around a lot and saw
that on the sel-example i had then called foo.hello() instead of
foo.Hello().


but it was an informing error now i egt it. was wondering about self
anyway so thanks for clearing it up.


but it still is a bit confusing that u can pass with any word.
wouldnt:


class Foo(object):
	def Hello():
		print "hi"


make more sense?

the class-thing seems inside out somehow in python. if im doing
foo.Hello() im already saying that im using the class foo because i
did foo=Foo() before and then still when calling Hello() i am
invisibly passing the class itself a s a parameter by default?
just seems backwards and weird.
