Is there any reason why this syntax wouldn't be possible?
def myclass.method(self):
pass
Instead, python currently uses assignment, such as:
def f(self):
pass
myclass.method = f

(Plenty of syntax is *possible*. That doesn't mean it's *worthwhile*.) – user2357112 supports Monica Jan 30 '19 at 23:46
