That should be:
if maxlength is not None and len(string) <= maxlength:
Using "imaginary" infinity values defiles the intuitive nature of your
code. What is more intuitive?
def confine_length(string, maxlength=INFINITY):
if string.length < maxlength:
do_something()
def confine_length(string, maxlength=None):
if maxlength is not None and len(string) <= maxlength:
do_something()
This one:
def confine_length(string, maxlength=None):
"""Confine the length.
@param maxlength: the maximum length allowed, set it to None to allow any
length.
"""
if maxlength is not None and len(string) <= maxlength:
do_something()
I'm just feeding the troll, I know ... :-/
