Reedy That's a pretty big change; now all formal parameters beginning with an underscore have a brand new meaning. How about this: def __init__(self, self.x, y, self.z): # self.x, self.z from first and third explicit parameters do_something_with_y() where "self" in "self.x" and "self.y" would have to match the first parameter (so that the pathological among us could write this: def __init__(this, this.x, y, this.z): do_something_with_y() instead). (Sorry if this posts multiple times; gnus and/or my news server were not happy when I was composing this reply.)
