I am new to python,
Could someone explain (in English) how and when to use self?
I have been reading, and haven't found a good example/explanation

Don't use self. Use other.

python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for
p in 'o****@xiludom. gro'.split('@')])"
As a point of style: the 'other' identifier should only be used in
Zen Metaclass programming as an implicit reference to the calling
object or as a list of references to all other instances of the class.
Context will make it both clear and obvious which use case is
desired.

Can I use the 'other' identifier in, e.g., an __add__ method?
Please? ;-)

As a point of style, if it refers to a list, it should be 'others' and
not 'other'.
Also, this was supposed to be a joke. I can well understand that my sens
of humour is somewhat disastrous and that this was not a _good_ joke,
but "context should have made both clear and obvious" that it was one.

Are you serious? You don't recommend doing this?

I was also wondering. What's the problem you see with the identifier
"self?"

Well, you are either serious, or you're guilty of giving extremely bad
advice to a newbie who will probably have even less ability to recognise
an in-joke than I do.

quick example:
If the input string is too long, they don't truncate it, but return it
unchanged; this will mess up your column lay-out but that's usually
better than the alternative, which would be lying about a value. (If
you really want truncation you can always add a slice operation, as in

what I understand as the "normal" variable lookup scheme in an
instance/object heirarchy, or to the rules regarding variable usage
before creation. Check this out:

Sorry for the vague subject. Not sure what the right terminology is.
How can I use an instance's data by reference to the instance name,
not the instance attribute? OK the question is probably really poor
but hopefully an example will make it clear.
