It goes really well with "that"

Call me crazy, but I've always regarded "this" and "that" to be indistinguishable facets of non-parallel continuums.

Did you know that VB refers to "this" as "me"? I think that is relatively funny. Python uses "self".

In my language, I will eliminate all ambiguity by using "thatWhichIsThis."

I know approximately zero (give or take an order of magnitude) Python. However, I've seen many people choose "self" in OO Perl programs. Usually the first line of a sub/method sets some variable to the reference to the "current" object.

sub myMethod {
    my $self = shift;
 
    $self->{x} = $self->{y} * 4;
    ...
}

I could just as easily have said "my $this = shift;" or "my $me = shift;". Is that pretty much the case for Python?

Ok, you're crazy.
