Hi, in a module of mine (ftpserver.py) I'd want to add a (boolean) global variable named "use_gmt_times" to decide whether the server has to return times in GMT or localtime but I'm not sure if it is a good idea because of the "ethical" doubts I'm gonna write below.
In first place I've never liked global variables too much and always preferred per-class-instance variables instead. The problem in my case is that I have to use such variable in two separated classes: FTPHandler and VirtualFileSystem. Also, I want that for no reason one class uses times in GMT and the other one local times. Another doubt is the naming convention. PEP-8 states that global variables should use the lower_case_naming_convention but I've seen a lot of library module using the UPPER_CASE_NAMING_CONVENTION. What am I supposed to do about it? Thanks in advance for any comment. --- Giampaolo http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
