[Python-ideas] Improve error message when missing 'self' in method definition

[Sylvain Desodt]

Hi all,

A bit of shameless self-promotion but in case anyone interested, a while
ago, I had started to work on a project to improve error message. In case
anyone's interested, you can found everything at:
https://github.com/SylvainDe/DidYouMean-Python . It can be invoked in
different ways, one of them being a hook. For instance, you'd get something
like:

>>> import didyoumean_api
>>> didyoumean_api.didyoumean_enablehook()
>>> math.pi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'math' is not defined*. Did you mean to import math first?*

There is still a lot to be done (and the main thing would be to make it pip
installable) but it may be useful if the improved error messages do not
make it to the CPython interpreter.

Regards

Sylvain
