self vs some other name - Skaperen - Feb-23-2017
is there anyone that regularly uses other names or one other name, in place of self, when coding methods of a class?

why?

The only acceptable time to use something else is for methods decorated as
@classmethod in which case you should use cls instead of self.Yes, these are all conventions, but if you expect anyone else to read your code you should follow them.

but that was the original poorly written code.

I've seen people use "this" before, for obvious reasons. It's annoying, please don't do that.

It's kind of funny. At least you know who to ask if you have questions for some other programming language.
