I propose that the self argument be removed from method definitions. It<br>would not be removed from other places, e.g., you'd still use<br>"self.foo()", but the definition for that method would be "def foo():".

You're free to make a PEP, of course, especially if it covers every pro and con. But you'll have to work hard, very hard, to convince Guido (and me, and many others, but we don't count.)
