When I first started using python (somewhere before the 2to3 migration) I was extremely pissed at the object layer.

I hate redundancy and the dunder and explicit self parameters completely stupid. With time I just got used to them .. (thanks partly to editor templates). The private field shenaningans weren't sexy either..

Other than that I agree.. it would be worth a python4

   class Foo(Bar):

      new(*a, **kw):
         "keyword: new"
         super(*a, **kw)
         print('v4')
      
      bar(a,b,adjust=1):
         "no self, shorthand super.parent_method()"
         return super.bar(a, b) + adjust

come on guido ;)

I'd wish there to be simply keywords that define public/private class/instance methods and variables.
