"But - what are we solving for here?" I'll tell you what my fairly common use case is. Suppose I have some test infrastructure code, and I want to make some assertions in it. What I invariably end up doing is passing 'self' into the infrastructure method/class just so I can call the assert methods from it. I'd much rather be just calling the assertions, without carrying the whole test object around. It *works* to do that, but it bothers me every time I do it or read it in code, and it makes the infrastructure code needlessly more complicated and slightly harder to understand/read. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue19645> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
