Re: [Python-ideas] Explicit self argument, implicit super argument

class A(object): def method(self, x, y): self.x = x super.method(y)

Is that really how it's going to be? What if self isn't called 'self'? I would rather see super.method(self, y)

From an *implementation standpoint*, making self implicit - a cell variable like super, for example - would wreak havoc with the current bound/unbound method distinction, but I'm not so sure that's a bad thing.

What happens to explicit inherited method calls? If they become impossible or awkward, it's very definitely a bad thing. -- Greg
