this is the real world. Monkey patching, hacks, repeating the same code in 10 different places with minor changes - all this and more happens when the deadline is yesterday and the client is screaming and tearing out his hair. The other day a developer produced some code in production which did only half the job. Reason? He did not want to violate the DRY principle! Customer does not give an rf about DRY - he wants results and correct results in production. After all the hue and cry dies down, it makes good sense to go back to the code and slowly remove all the repetitive parts, make the hacks look good and redo the monkey patching - if you have time. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
