At the very least you'll need to declare get and get_hello to be class (or
static) methods. Remember that 'self' in Python is an arbitrary name; your
class would be syntactically identical if you had written it:
class Test(object):
def get(self):
return self.name
def get_hello(self, greeting):
return '%s %s' % (greeting, self.name)
...and you wouldn't expect that to work as you wanted.
