在这里，这个家伙写得很好，很简单:https://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2014/06/18/improve-your-python-python-classes-and-object-oriented-programming/

阅读上面的链接作为参考:

self? So what's with that self parameter to all of the Customer methods? What is it? Why, it's the instance, of course! Put another way, a method like withdraw defines the instructions for withdrawing money from some abstract customer's account. Calling jeff.withdraw(100.0) puts those instructions to use on the jeff instance. So when we say def withdraw(self, amount):, we're saying, "here's how you withdraw money from a Customer object (which we'll call self) and a dollar figure (which we'll call amount). self is the instance of the Customer that withdraw is being called on. That's not me making analogies, either. jeff.withdraw(100.0) is just shorthand for Customer.withdraw(jeff, 100.0), which is perfectly valid (if not often seen) code. init self may make sense for other methods, but what about init? When we call init, we're in the process of creating an object, so how can there already be a self? Python allows us to extend the self pattern to when objects are constructed as well, even though it doesn't exactly fit. Just imagine that jeff = Customer('Jeff Knupp', 1000.0) is the same as calling jeff = Customer(jeff, 'Jeff Knupp', 1000.0); the jeff that's passed in is also made the result. This is why when we call init, we initialize objects by saying things like self.name = name. Remember, since self is the instance, this is equivalent to saying jeff.name = name, which is the same as jeff.name = 'Jeff Knupp. Similarly, self.balance = balance is the same as jeff.balance = 1000.0. After these two lines, we consider the Customer object "initialized" and ready for use. Be careful what you __init__ After init has finished, the caller can rightly assume that the object is ready to use. That is, after jeff = Customer('Jeff Knupp', 1000.0), we can start making deposit and withdraw calls on jeff; jeff is a fully-initialized object.

在这段代码中:

class Cat:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def info(self):
        print 'I am a cat and I am called', self.name

在这里，__init__充当类的构造函数，当对象实例化时，将调用此函数。Self表示实例化对象。

c = Cat('Kitty')
c.info()

上述陈述的结果如下:

I am a cat and I am called Kitty

__init__基本上是一个函数，它将为特定对象“初始化”/“激活”类的属性，一旦创建并匹配到相应的类。 Self表示将继承这些属性的对象。

基本上，当在同一个类中的多个函数中使用一个变量时，需要使用'self'关键字。至于init，它用于设置默认值，以防该类中没有其他函数被调用。

self是类实例的引用

class foo:
    def bar(self):
            print "hi"

现在我们可以创建一个foo实例并调用它的方法，self参数在本例中由Python添加:

f = foo()
f.bar()

但是如果方法调用不在类实例的上下文中，它也可以被传入，下面的代码做同样的事情

f = foo()
foo.bar(f)

有趣的是，变量名“self”只是一种约定。下面的定义将工作完全相同..说了这么多，这是一种非常强烈的惯例，应该一直遵循，但它确实说明了语言的灵活性

class foo:
    def bar(s):
            print "hi"

一个简单的说明性例子

希望它能有所帮助，这里有一个简单的例子，我用它来理解在类中声明的变量和在__init__函数中声明的变量之间的区别:

class MyClass(object):
    i = 123
    def __init__(self):
        self.i = 345
     
a = MyClass()
print(a.i)
print(MyClass.i)

输出:

345
123
