Then your Python Script should explicitly pass "context" into
your External Method. There, you can access it instances in the normal
way.

There is a magic passing of the context of the External Method
as the first argument, if it is called "self" and the method
is called with precisely one argument less than the required
number of arguments. As you see, the rule is that strange,
that you should use it only when you really need to.
There is no need in a Python Script...
