So it is for Python's 'self'. :-) That may be a good analogy, and as I said, I'm willing to try. But I still think one character is easier to ignore than four, and that there is no compelling argument for 'self' over '_', while there is a positive reason for parens (ease of automated parsing tools). > What's a booth bimbo? :-) "It's not a sexist phenomenon as such, applying equally to the pretty young men and women who work as scenery at various booths. Universally, these people have no clue about the products they represent; instead they hand out buttons and propaganda, smile nicely, and act as props for the larger show that goes on around them." -- http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/TidBITS-159.html#lnk6 > > --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
