Here's what I've written:
Function and method arguments
Always use 'self' for the first argument to instance methods.
Always use 'cls' for the first argument to class methods.
If a function argument's name clashes with a reserved keyword, it is
generally better to append a single trailing underscore rather than use
an abbreviation or spelling corruption. Thus "print_" is better than
"prnt".

Really? ISTR adopting this convention from Guido, but I'm not 100% sure
about that. After having used it for several years now, I do really
like this style, but I'm willing to leave the recommendation out of PEP
8.
