(While I'm criticizing,  I should point out that your quoting
 seems doublespaced.  That makes me suspect buggy googlegroups. 
 If you're using that, you should either find a real newsreader,
 use the mailing list, or manually fix the double spacing. 
 Hundres of posts on here about it, just search out one of
 them)

Certainly not. A method is a very specic kind of function, you'll
 learn about it when you study classes. Some languages blur the
 distinction,  by not having any functions outside of classes. But
 that's not Python.
