Calling function2(x) from a function1(x) passing the same argument class?

class myClass(object):
    def __init__(self, firstVar):
        '''
        Some docstring
        '''
        self.var = firstVar


    def myProcedure1(self, secondVar):
        '''
        Some docstring1
        '''
        return my_thing

    def myProcedure(self, secondVar):
        '''
        Some docstring2
        '''

        what_I_Need = myClass.myProcedure1(secondVar)
        do something with this
        return something else

When I call myClass_instance.myProcedure(secondVar) I get a error saying that:

TypeError: myProcedure1() missing 1 required positional argument: 'secondVar'

How can I pass secondVar to make this work?

You are calling the method directly on the class, which is unbound. That means no self is passed in, and secondVar is interpreted as the value for self instead.

Call the method on self:

self.myProcedure1(secondVar)

self here is just another reference to the instance, just like myClass_instance is when you call myProceduce(...) on that object.
