New submission from Peter Inglesby:

It should be an error for a class to define a method twice.

That is, Python should raise an exception when the following code is loaded:

class C:
    def m(self):
        # do something
    def m(self):
        # do something

I have just witnessed a beginner get very confused by this!

(Apologies if this is a duplicate of an existing issue.)
