I think it would be cool if you could refer to instance variables without prefixing with "self." I know noone else thinks like me so Python will never be changed, but maybe you can already do it with Python today?
.import sys . .def magic(): . s = "" . for var in sys._getframe(1).f_locals["self"].__dict__: . s += var + " = self." + var + "\n" . return s . .class A: . def __init__(self): . self.hi = "yo" . . def meth(self): . exec(magic()) . print hi . .a = A() .a.meth() It works! exec(magic()) does the needed hi = self.hi. Not so impressive in this case but much cooler when there is more instance variables around. But the solution is very ugly because you have to write exec(magic()) in every method. So I'm asking here if someone knows a better way, maybe using decorators or metaclasses or other black magic? -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
