Since these are member functions  call it as a member function on the instance  self   def isNear self  p       self distToPoint p

That doesn t work because distToPoint is inside your class  so you need to prefix it with the classname if you want to refer to it  like this  classname distToPoint self  p   You shouldn t do it like that  though  A better way to do it is to refer to the method directly through the class instance  which is the first argument of a class method   like so  self distToPoint p
