What does the Python error “name 'self' is not defined” mean?

Question

I can\'t figure out what\'s wrong with this very simple snippet:

class A(object):
        def printme(self):
                print \"A\"

        self.printm         


        

Answer 1

if you want to print something when you instantiate the object use:

class A(object):
    def __init__(self):
            self.printme()

    def printme(self):
            print "A"

a = A()
