Self Nanny

[Paul Prescod]

I have never seen correct Python code where the first argument to a
method was not named "self". Therefore I think that the flexibility of
allowing it to be named "spam" is more trouble than it is worth. Python
should just require "self" be named "self".

"We still do not know why mathematics is true and whether it is
certain. But we know what we do not know in an immeasurably richer way
than we did. And learning this has been a remarkable achievement,
among the greatest and least known of the modern era."
