title: def self.foo(arg): rather than def foo(self, arg): in Python
body: <p>In his <a href="http://neopythonic.blogspot.co.uk/2008/10/why-explicit-self-has-to-stay.html" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> Guido mentions</p>
  
  <pre><code>def self.foo(arg):
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>would be acceptable syntactic sugar for</p>
  
  <pre><code>def foo(self, arg):
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I love this.  But was this ever progressed?  Is it ever going to be progressed?
  I have had a mighty Google but can't see it as a PEP.</p>
