For example, if parameter assignment happened left to right, and allowed more than just variables, then one could do: def __init__(self, self.x, self.y): pass Python 2 had non-variable parameters (but not attributes, just unpacking: def foo((x, y)): pass), but it was removed in Python 3, because of issues with introspection (among other, perhaps less significant, issues): https://peps.python.org/pep-3113/ Perhaps now that positional-only parameters exist, and the introspection APIs have evolved over time, there is a way to work this into the introspection APIs sensibly. (a "@foo" parameter does not have this problem, because it's just a parameter named `foo` with some extra stuff.) -- Devin
