Thanks, looking into it!

Seeing the same issue when referencing a function from self.
Example code:

class foo(object):
    def la(self, arg1):
        [...]

    def ma(self):
        self.la(arg1)

@wolfy1339 I don't know what you mean, that snippet of code does not emit the error we are talking about in this issue.

Oops, you're right
