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).

+1 on the idea.

Yury
