(original) (raw)

Hello,

i know this has been discusses very much, i'm sorry,
but i can't help it. In a nutshell, the proposal is as
follows:

1\. Self remains explicit (like it is now).
2\. if a class is a subclass of a special class, e.g.
   named 'selfless', the self parameter is not required
   and a special variable, named 'this' is provided.


For example:

class Foo (selfless):
    def \_\_init\_\_ (x, y):
        this.x = x
        ...

A patch for 3.0b3 implementing this can be found at
