If you're looking only at other objects of the same class, the easiest
way is to maintain a list every time one is created. Then you just
iterate over that list to know about your friends.

To do this, just append to the list in __init__, and possibly have an
explicit "destroy" or "remove" method that will take self out of that
list.
