title: What is a "method" in Python?
body: <p>Can anyone, please, explain to me in very simple terms what a "method" is in Python?</p>
  
  <p>The thing is in many Python tutorials for beginners this word is used in such way as if the beginner already knew what a method is in the context of Python. While I am of course familiar with the general meaning of this word, I have no clue what this term means in Python. So, please, explain to me what the "Pythonian" method is all about.</p>
  
  <p>Some very simple example code would be very much appreciated as a picture is worth thousand words.</p>
