The need to put "self" in every method

Hi, i was just wondering about the need to put "self" as the first parameter in every method a class has because, if it's always needed, why the obligation to write it? couldn't it be implicit? Or is it a special reason for this being this way? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinf

something like CPAN, PPMs?

I'm new to Python from Perl, and loving it. Has there ever been any discussion of creating a similar resource as CPAN for Python, or a similar distribution method as PPMs? Seems like it would make a great language even better. Alex -- http://tangentspace.net/cz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/

Seti-like program

Hello I'd like to consider making a program which is 'seti-like' where I could run a command-line Python script to just 'do something', and then be able to launch a viewer program (maybe linux x11 or Windows, possibly over a network socket) using wxPython to be able to inter-act with it. (Start jo
