Though to be fair, they *are* broken tools if they rely on "self" since there's nothing in the Python specs that require that. It's just a convention[1]. -tkc [1] https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/classes.html#random-remarks """ Often, the first argument of a method is called self. This is nothing more than a convention: the name self has absolutely no special meaning to Python. Note, however, that by not following the convention your code may be less readable to other Python programmers, and it is also conceivable that a class browser program might be written that relies upon such a convention. """ It does give fair warning, but I'd consider that a warning to authors of "class browser program[s]" as much as to developers.
