Of the two, I'd strongly vote for the auto completion (assuming you feel the need to "solve" this problem at all). The name "self" is so ingrained in most Python programmers minds, that it's almost a keyword. Changing it to "this" or "s" or "me" will just make your program a little harder for other people to understand. Changing it to "this" would be particularly perverse since it's not even any less typing. In fact, on a standard keyboard, it's harder to type since it involves moving off the home row more :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
