Python misconceptions in IBM Ruby article...

[Robin Becker]

I guess the objection is to not having a standard name for the instance
in class functions. If we had the standard set at self you could
presumably write

class dingo:
    def normal_func(a1,a2,....):
        .....

    classdef instance_func(a1,a2,...):
        self.a=1
        ........

ie you could distinguish in the class definition between the kinds of
functions. Presumably normal_func cannot refer to self and instance_func
can. Also I assume that normal_func would live while the class does
which is more difficult in python.
