While I liked the klass form myself, PEP-8 (the style guide) says:
Function and method arguments
Always use 'self' for the first argument to instance methods.
Always use 'cls' for the first argument to class methods.
If a function argument's name clashes with a reserved keyword,
it is generally better to append a single trailing underscore
rather than use an abbreviation or spelling corruption. Thus
"print_" is better than "prnt". (Perhaps better is to avoid
such clashes by using a synonym.)
