Help me understand this... (Classes and self).
#4
written this way: def __init__(self, parent):
you must pass a value for parent when instantiating __init__(self, parent):.
if you write it like __init__(self, parent=None):
then parent is optional when creating an instance of __init__(self, parent):
example with default parent == 'woogie':
class IsntImportant(Object):
    def __init__(self, parent='woogie'):
        self.parent = parent

myclass = IsntImportant() # parent defaults to 'woogie'

myotherclass = IsntImportant(parent='main_win') # parent changed to 'main_win'
