Alix,
I'm going to recommend you read the python tutorial. Just jumping in from
knowing another language will not work. The ideas are the same, but the
keywords are different. Go read up on classes, self is fully explained there.
Adding a method is as easy as just appending it in the class, making sure that
it's indented correctly.
