(snip code)I think it would be cool if you could refer to instance variables without prefixing with "self." I know noone else thinks like me so Python will never be changed, but maybe you can already do it with Python today?
It works! exec(magic()) does the needed hi = self.hi. Not so impressive in this case but much cooler when there is more instance variables around. But the solution is very ugly because you have to write exec(magic()) in every method. So I'm asking here if someone knows a better way, maybe using decorators or metaclasses or other black magic?
The better way is definitively to forget about black magic and understand why mandatory 'self' is Good Thing (tm).
(Tip : even when [this|self|@|whatsoever] is not mandatory, using it makes for much more readable code.)
