Yes, indeed. A self-reference prefix like "s", "T", "_" or even "my" would be enough characters shorter than "self." But self *is* the convention and just because the language allows you to break it doesn't mean that it is not horribly wrong to do so. :) -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
