[Tutor] Understanding Classes

[Christian Alexander]

Hello Tutorians,

Looked all over the net for class tutorials
Unable to understand the "self" argument
Attempting to visual classes

I have searched high and low, for easy to follow tutorials regarding
classes.  Although I grok the general concept of classes,  I am unable to
visually understand what exactly "self" does, or why it is even necessary.
 It seems very "magic" to me.  Also I am having the most difficult with the
"__init__()" method in classes, and why that is also required.  Keep in
mind that I am a visual person (maybe I should have been a graphic
designer), therefore most programming concepts flow irritatingly slow for
me.
