If you define an instance method, the first parameter is always the 
instance passed to the method - regardless of the parameters name.

In your case the instance was passed to the row parameter. Then again you 
wanted to pass i to it. That's why the exception was raised. If you just 
had typed self.create_edit(i), then row would have been the instance 
(*self*.create_edit(...)) and self would have been i.

Naming the first parameter self is only a convention. It could be any 
other name, too.
