Question

class my_class
    def is_same(self, arg1, arg2):
        return arg1 == arg2

    def a_function(self):
        if is_same('a', 'b'):
            print "They're the same"

Eclipse tells me is_same is an undefined variable. I think you can do this in Java.

Answer 1

I needed to say self.is_same() because these functions were inside a class. Coming from Java where you don’t need to say this.method(), I was confused.
