I had to work in Java over the summer, and I started using 'this.' for all 
instance variables.  Found it much easier to read my code when I went back to 
it later.  (Of course, I was prompted by Python's syntax, but the real 
motivator was reading someone else's code and having to hunt down their 
instance variables to figure out what was going on...)
