Others have expressed such a wish -- this comes up perhaps once a year. The bottom line is that as long as Python has separate instance and local namespaces with possibly duplicate names, then there must be a way to tell which namespace a name should be looked up in. The current system is completely consistent with Python's object.attribute system. It would be odd if instance attributes were referred to differently in module level code and function level code.
