In addition to the other advice you've received, if you don't need to
preserve state, you could avoid the "self" business by putting your
functions in a module instead of an object.
def k(a):
return a**3
def dot(a, u)
return -k(a-u)
Python modules are also objects, so they can serve in place of class
instances much of the time.
