By "*slightly* more explicit," do you mean more syntactic clutter?

Because of course you replace inner classes and closures with top-level
classes and methods of top-level classes.

And of course, I would prefer not to create a class for a singleton
object:

    class C:
        def __init__(self, some, arg):
            c = self
            self.d = object:
                def method(self):
                    access(c)
                    access(some)
                    access(arg)

Unfortunately, there is no such syntax in Python.
