Java:

this.foo()

Python:

self.foo()

Works almost identically in both.

Of course in Java the 'this' is optional but many style guides
recommend its use to make it clear where the function lives...

If you really like 'this' over 'self' you can even do that too:

class C:
   def foo(this): pass
   def bar(this):
      this.foo()
