Hi all, Recently pypy received a patch that improves the error message one gets when 'self' is missing in a method's signature:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2016-September/014678.html Here are the commits that implement the change in pypy: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/commits/all?search=branch(better-error-missing-self) I'm curious whether a similar improvement would also be received well in CPython. In particular, this guides one to the correct solution for a common programming mistake made by newcomers (and even not-so-newcomers). Here is a case study that found this was a common source of errors for newcomers: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2960327 -Nathan
