Hmm? Did I miss something? A few posts above we recoginzed that when I would do:

def genGraph(self):
    "bla"
    return self.data

then genGraph would return data from the class where it is defined and not from the object acquiring it. So it would fail.

Yes, this is what I understood (at least I think so) now. So the question is:

How will the method find out what object I want it to operate on if I call it in this way

context/genGraphs or objref/genGraphs

I actually want it to operate on the object I called it on, but this is not what self inside the method represents.
