Quality control in open source development

2008-10-08 Thread Dave
With the open source licenses that allow redistribution of modified code, how do you keep someone unaffiliated with the Python community from creating his or her own version of python, and declaring it to be Python 2.6, or maybe Python 2.7 without any approval of anyone at the PSF? Maybe their code

*shrug*, just syntactic preference I guess. In jquery, for example, you are working over sets of DOM elements and it's convenient to chain those statements into a single line of x.foo().bar().biz() etc. IMO it's a little cleaner to do that as an 'atomic' line, but it's not really that different. Ideally the classes you are using would support this without 'wrap' but I was just tinkering with a hack to do it that way.

Bring object 'out of' Class?

2008-05-31 Thread dave
Hello, I'm currently on the class section of my self-taught journey and have a question about classes: is it possible to bring a object created inside the class definitions outside the class so it can be accessed in the interpreter? For example, right now I'm working (within Allen Downey's

imap4_SSL from behind a proxy server

also suspect there is a really complicated way to 'wrap' the imap classes so as to force requests to go through a proxy which, as a newbie, I am trying to avoid. FYI, I'm currently running Python 2.5.2. via IDLE on Windows XP. But when this project is done, I will move it to Linux. Thanks
