I think it's an awesome proposal. It's about time! With this change, defining methods uses the same special syntax hack that calling them does. This is a good thing because it makes it easy to refer to methods consistently. I see a lot of people are against it; I admit that it's not the status quo, but that's not a sufficient argument against a change (it defeats all possible changes). A more interesting argument against it is that it's special "implicit" syntax; but I would argue that it merely reflects the existing special syntax of method calls. Unfortunately, writing a PEP is sadly outside my skillset. > Daniel -Wm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
