class Foo:
   def __init__(self, x):
     x = x + 1

This compiles just fine in pyhtoh.

What is x here? The argument, of course, because that's how it works in 
python. You forgot to put self before x.

class Foo {
	int x;
	this(int x) {
		x = x + 1;
	}
}
What is x here? The argument, of course, because that's how it works in 
python. You forgot to put this before x.

How is python safer than D in that sense?
