Its not a Buzz for sure. Refactoring is just a neat name, which developers have been doing for years. Its common among developers to rework on their code bases. Have a better implementation for the same function. Nothing to do with a Programming Language. Its a nice read and recommended read for person dealing in Object Oriented Programming on a daily basis with C++, Java. Python itself does not restrict you to know OOPS to solve problems in python. To swear by a book, methodology . Refactoring Book is not up there. Not sure if the Book got an update, It was a almost a decade ago since I read it. The only folks who made statements like that were freshers from Throatworks :P regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
