Python self keyword not mandatory

A long time ago I subscribed to the Python language mailing list, and today I discovered in a discussion that "self" is not mandatory.
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/classes.html#random-remarks states:
Often, the first argument of a method is called self. This is nothing
more than a convention: the name self has absolutely no special
meaning to Python. Note, however, that by not following the
convention your code may be less readable to other Python
programmers, and it is also conceivable that a class browser program
might be written that relies upon such a convention.
 It might obvious for some, but for me it is worth of note.

I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&
