Believe me: I do java for a living, but I'm hoping to change that ASAP to go
with python (and the occasional C) - because my expressiveness in Python is
so much larger than with Java. Mixins, higher-order functions, Metaclasses,
decorators, properties, multiline strings, local functions in Java? No,
sir!

The thing is: self won't go away. Others have tried it - and didn't succeed.
Try and adapt. If you can't, you won't get happy with python - because its
not going to change.
