I took "short" to mean small which python use to be but is growing too large. Too many new constructs are being added to the base language (ternary operators for instance). Encapsulation is the wrong answer to some problems. When it's the right answer (large, disperse, avg or lower ability developers aka "enterprise") go use a language built for that environment such as Java. Same with self. [to OA] Not all languages should be applicable to all problems. Quit trying to change Python into your language and leave it as my language.
