在Person类中，我们用self定义了init方法，这里需要注意的有趣的事情是self和实例变量p的内存位置是相同的<__main__。位于0x106a78fd0>的Person对象

class Person:

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name 
        self.age = age 

    def say_hi(self):
        print("the self is at:", self)
        print((f"hey there, my name is {self.name} and I am {self.age} years old"))

    def say_bye(self):
        print("the self is at:", self)
        print(f"good to see you {self.name}")

p = Person("john", 78)
print("the p is at",p)
p.say_hi()  
p.say_bye() 

如上所述，self和实例变量都是同一个对象。

它的使用类似于Java中this关键字的使用，即给出对当前对象的引用。

当对象实例化时，对象本身被传递到self参数中。

因此，对象的数据被绑定到对象上。下面是一个示例，说明您可能希望如何可视化每个对象的数据。注意“self”是如何被对象名称替换的。我并不是说下面这个示例图是完全准确的，但希望它能在可视化self的使用方面起到一定的作用。

对象被传递到self参数中，这样对象就可以保存自己的数据。

Although this may not be wholly accurate, think of the process of instantiating an object like this: When an object is made it uses the class as a template for its own data and methods. Without passing it's own name into the self parameter, the attributes and methods in the class would remain as a general template and would not be referenced to (belong to) the object. So by passing the object's name into the self parameter it means that if 100 objects are instantiated from the one class, they can all keep track of their own data and methods.

如下图所示:

自我是不可避免的。

问题是，self是隐式的还是显式的。 Guido van Rossum解决了这个问题说self必须留下来。

那么自我生活在哪里呢?

如果我们坚持函数式编程，我们就不需要self了。 一旦我们进入Python OOP，我们就会发现自己在那里。

下面是带有方法m1的典型用例类C

class C:
    def m1(self, arg):
        print(self, ' inside')
        pass

ci =C()
print(ci, ' outside')
ci.m1(None)
print(hex(id(ci))) # hex memory address

这个程序将输出:

<__main__.C object at 0x000002B9D79C6CC0>  outside
<__main__.C object at 0x000002B9D79C6CC0>  inside
0x2b9d79c6cc0

self保存类实例的内存地址。 self的目的是保存实例方法的引用，并使我们能够显式地访问该引用。

注意有三种不同类型的类方法:

静态方法(读作:函数)， 类方法, 实例方法(已提到)。

以下摘自关于self的Python文档:

As in Modula-3, there are no shorthands [in Python] for referencing the object’s members from its methods: the method function is declared with an explicit first argument representing the object, which is provided implicitly by the call. Often, the first argument of a method is called self. This is nothing more than a convention: the name self has absolutely no special meaning to Python. Note, however, that by not following the convention your code may be less readable to other Python programmers, and it is also conceivable that a class browser program might be written that relies upon such a convention.

首先，self是一个传统的名字，你可以用其他任何东西(连贯)来代替它。

它引用对象本身，因此当您使用它时，您声明.name和.age是您将要创建的Student对象(注意，不是Student类)的属性。

class Student:
    #called each time you create a new Student instance
    def __init__(self,name,age): #special method to initialize
        self.name=name
        self.age=age

    def __str__(self): #special method called for example when you use print
        return "Student %s is %s years old" %(self.name,self.age)

    def call(self, msg): #silly example for custom method
        return ("Hey, %s! "+msg) %self.name

#initializing two instances of the student class
bob=Student("Bob",20)
alice=Student("Alice",19)

#using them
print bob.name
print bob.age
print alice #this one only works if you define the __str__ method
print alice.call("Come here!") #notice you don't put a value for self

#you can modify attributes, like when alice ages
alice.age=20
print alice
