It's a matter of avoiding the bore and potential scope for typos in repetitive typing. > If you are going to reference self.quit a lot of times then it makes > sense to also assign it to a local variable and then you already get > even fewer characters (239): But you realize readability decreases considerably. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
