  <p>Forgive me if this is an incredibly noobish question, but I never did understand self in Python. What does it do? And when I see things like</p>
  
  <pre><code>def example(self, args):
      return self.something
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what do they do? I think I've seen args somewhere in a function too. Please explain in a simple way :P</p>
