No.  He means something like this:

>>> class Foo:
...   def MyMethod( m, arg1, arg2 ):
...     m.field1 = arg1
...     m.field2 = arg2/arg1

`self' is just an argument, like any other on the list.  It's distinguished
*only* in that it's supplied by the Python environment automatically; what
you choose to call it is entirely up to you.

Use of the word `self' is entirely for conventional reasons.
