If you had bothered to include the error message it would have been 
obvious that the problem with your code isn't in body of the method at 
all - you have failed to include an argument to the method to pick up 
the instance on which the method is called. I am guessing that when you 
create an instance and call its func2 method you see the message

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "test07.py", line 12, in <module>
     myInstance.func2()
TypeError: func2() takes no arguments (1 given)

which would have been a very useful clue. Please include the traceback 
in future! Here's a version of your program that works.

sholden at bigboy ~/Projects/Python
$ cat test07.py
"my module here"

def func1():
      print "hello"

class MyClass:
    def func2(self):
          #how can I call func1 here.
          func1() #results in an error

myInstance = MyClass()
myInstance.func2()

sholden at bigboy ~/Projects/Python
$ python test07.py
hello
