Self being explicit makes it less selfish :)
To illustrate, I like that you can do:
class Foo(str):
    def mybar(self):
        class Bar(str):
            def madeby(me):
                return "I am %s and I was made by %s" % (me, self)
        return Bar
How about:
class Foo(str):
    def mybar():
        outer = self
        class Bar(str):
            def madeby():
                return "I am %s and I was made by %s" % (self, outer)
        return Bar
Good point. I actually like this better, since it forces the outer scope 
self to have a different name, removing a source of confusion. Back down 
to two uncommon use cases so far, then.
