Try this in Python:
B.spin(myC, "Lancelot")
You can't ask the instance for myC.spin because that would retrieve
C.spin; you need B.spin instead. But if you get it this way, it's not
associated to a specific instance, so you must pass myC explicitely
(becoming 'self').

Yes.

No need for that. And usually, that's not what you want either: you're
creating a *different* object that way, not calling a (shadowed) method on
an existing object.

Perhaps...
