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 http://www-lehre.inf.uos.de/~kklimek/misc/python_slp_8.diff
