On: Porting to Python 3: An offer for you

[anamax]

I love self too, but I'd like the syntax to be

def self.meth(arg0) instead of def meth(self, arg)

so the declaration looked ike the call. (And yes, the self can be a different name so a similar syntax can work for classmethods.)

[phaylon → anamax]

The new developments in Perl syntax mostly solve this by having an explicit separator for invocant specification:

    method foo ($bar, $baz) { ... }

has $self, $bar and $baz, while

    method foo ($class: $bar, $baz) { ... }

has $class, $bar and $baz.
