I know that "self" parameter have been discussed a lot, but still I didn't find this proposal. If it was instead take my sincere apologies and please forget this mail.
The disturbing part of the "self parameter" is the asymmetry of the definition and the call. So I was thinking: why not do define the methods like: "def self.whatevermethod(par1, par2, etc)" instead of "def whatevermethod(self, par1, par2, etc)"? This will allow the call and the definition to be written exactly in the same way, still leaving the "clarity" of the additional input for the function. Moreover this can be made backward compatible (even still without making self a reserved word, to be considered anyway). I've been short by purpose but ready to elaborate if needed. Thank you for the attention. _Stefano _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
