Initiating and calling a function inside class

Question

is it acceptable to define a function and use it within class? ie

class Forms:
    def myform():
        do something

    def newform():
        return myform()
        do something else

I am having issues with a piece of code and this seems to work better if i make myform a funtion outside class. Then call it within the newform method. IS this pythonic in any way?

Answer 1

There's nothing wrong with calling another function but your syntax is not correct.

It would look something like

class Forms:
    def myform(self):
        #do something

    def newform(self):
        res = self.myform()
        #do something else with res
