This could be easier to implement and read if we had something like:

On the contrary, I think most people here would consider this to be *harder* to read and maintain. It seems clear to you because you just wrote it and it's fresh in your mind which namespaces the various names belong to. But to someone else, it's far from obvious, for example, whether 'scramble' is a method of self or a module-level function. It also interacts badly with Python's declaration-free determination of name scope. What if you wanted 'eggs' or 'scrambled' to be local variables rather than an attribute of self? -- Greg
