[Django]-Django: Why is self. used here?

By using self here:

def get_queryset(self):
    self.publisher = get_object_or_404(Publisher, name=self.kwargs['publisher'])
    return Book.objects.filter(publisher=self.publisher)

We’re declaring a class level variable that can be used by other methods in this class. That means we can use the variable by calling:

self.publisher

Anywhere in the class.
