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

[Michel Desmoulin]

+1. Python does need better error messages. This and the recent new 
import exception will really help.

Will feature freeze prevent this to get into 3.6 if some champion it?

I also really like https://github.com/SylvainDe/DidYouMean-Python and as 
a trainer, will use it in my next training sessions.
