i want to expand specifically on steve's response and note the big
distinction that needs to be made for everyone is that this is primary the
difference between calling a *function* and calling a *method* (which is a
function that belongs to/defined for a class).
with that instance (self), that me
This little thread on the usage of self references when calling class instance
methods and attributes was excellent, one of the best I have seen.
Thanks,

Why do I have to use "self.example" when calling a method inside a class?
For example:
def Play(self):
'''find scores, reports winners'''
