Confusion with calling function of a subclass

[Pyenos]

class TREE:
def gettree(self):print self
TREE.gettree() # I get an error saying
# TypeError: unbound method gettree() must be called
# with TREE instance as first argument (got nothing instead
I still don't understand how to solve this simple code.

You first need to create an instance of the class:

tree = TREE()
tree.gettree()

or

TREE().gettree()

Hope this helps.

P.S. You should look into the tutorial
http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html it will answer a lot of your questions.

what is it supposed to do? what do you expect "self" to be, and where
do you expect it to come from ? have you tried adding some expletives,
to see if that solves the problem ?
