Are "class functions" referred to as "functions" or "methods" in Python

Question

See the code below

class HelloWorld:
    def print(self):
        print "Hello World"

Is HelloWorld.print(self) called a method or a function in Python?

Answer 1

They are referred to as class methods or instance methods.

Answer 2

Just to add to Jakob's clear answer, in languages like Python there is no requirement that everything lives within a class, unlike (say) Java. So whereas in Java every function is a method, in Python this isn't true: many or even most functions aren't part of a class. That's why it makes sense to have this terminology distinction between methods and functions.
