Do pythons like sugar?

[Afanasiy]

I've written this method for a text formatting class...
But it's ugly as sin. With all those self's I consider
it much less readable than it could be...

A few languages provide syntax sugar for dealing with
this by allowing you to localize the class scope.

Does Python? eg. `with self do:`

  def format( self, width=80 ):    
    self.lines = ['']
    i = 0
    for word in self.text.split():  
      if self.textwidth(self.lines[i]) + self.textwidth(word) <= width:
        if self.textwidth(self.lines[i]) > 0:
          self.lines[i] += ' '
        self.lines[i] += word
      else:
        i += 1
        self.lines.append(word)
