The patch is at 

    http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/hacks/meth-syntax-sugar-3.diff

It has been discussed a bit on python-dev already (part of those huge
threads about syntax ~9 months back);

 http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:mail.python.org+%22meth-syntax-sugar%22

is a good start :-)

I assume that patch applies cleanly; haven't actually tried it lately.

It's kinda covered by PEP 318, but that advocates a different syntax
variant.
