Bound methods to your rescue:

_stack = []
push = _stack.append
pop  = _stack.pop

Now push(i) and  i = pop() to your heart's content ;-)

What's ironic about your 'wish' is that making it possible to make a bound 
pop to go with the previously possible bound push was part of my rationale, 
several years ago, for proposing the addition of a pop method.
