In Python, the first argument of an instance method is the instance on which it has to operate [1]. IOW, your problem is with the definition of calculate(). You want: class DontKnowWhat(object): def calculate(self, data): # code here [1] you don't have to pass this argument - this will be handled by Python - but you need to declare it.
