It also creates a special case. Object attributes are generally accessed as
obj.foo, while $foo only works from within obj. There are more tradeoffs
involved than just compactness and syntax gestalt.
If compactness is all you want, shorten self to s. Personally I like 'me'
as it's both shorter and more vernacular:
def do_GET (me):
me.send_response (200, "ok")
As an added bonus, you get to channel Cookie Monster when you program. :)
c = Cookie ("good enough") # for me
