Re: [Python-ideas] Add a feature similar to C++ "using some_namespace"

Given that any object can be given a single character name, even as a temporary alias, this feature seems unnecessary

class Spam(object): def frobnicate(self): self.eggs = self.buy_eggs() self.scrambled = self.scramble(self.eggs) return self.scrambled

class Spam(object): def frobnicate(self): s = self # or name the parameter 's' instead of 'self' s.eggs = s.buy_eggs() s.scrambled = s.scramble(s.eggs) return s.scrambled -- Terry Jan Reedy
