A Methodical Review

In this chapter, you learned the following:

• Classes are like modules, except that classes contain methods and modules contain functions.

• Methods are like functions, except that the first argument must be an object of the class in which the method is defined.

• Method calls in this form—’browning’.capitalize()—are shorthand for this: str.capitalize(’browning’).

• Methods beginning and ending with two underscores are considered special by Python, and they are triggered by particular syntax.
