Every time I catch a wiff of a code smell, by nature I blame Ed. But 66% of the time when I research the history of that code, it'll be me that's to blame. So I definitely agree with the above statement! Ed and I were basically learning Python and wxPython simultaneously, building Dabo as a side-effect. Actually, it is probably truer to say we were building Dabo, and learning Python and wxPython as a side-effect. We took some VFP baggage along with us early on, but tended to drop all that and I guess by cross-example, learned idioms and techniques from each other as we went, discarding ones that proved to be lacking in some way and settling on the better ones. Most of this was probably sub-conscious. Early on, I'd spend a couple hours every week reviewing every single line of Dabo code. I haven't been able to do that in years, though. Too many lines, too little time...
