Python's self.parse - why do we use it?

Question

Why and when do we use self.parse()?

I've seen this in few functions when I was going through the code of tensorflow's- darkflow

self.parse is simply a variable name you declared in your code, or could be a function you declared in your code.

You do:

print(self.parse)

Output will be it's value.

Okay. So, that is just a function which should have been defined somewhere. – Sujith Royal Jan 02 '19 at 02:13
@SujitRoyal Yup, it is. – U13-Forward Jan 02 '19 at 02:16
so what would this mean - self.parser.tokenise()? Here tokenise() is the function defined in a class. https://github.com/lesley2958/word2vec/blob/master/word2vec.ipynb this is the link of the source code I'm referring to. – theProcrastinator Jan 27 '21 at 06:19

self.parse calls a function called parse (it must be defined in code or in a library) on its own value or output.
