My first ever use of setattr. Knew it was there for something ;)
Hmmm.... Outside of playing with setattr, why not use:
Display.control_panel = self
...
On the other hand I am sometimes forced into some ingenuity in the use
of what I *do* know, and feel I sometimes end up with something that
avoids being more occult than necessary - whereas someone more
comfortable at those levels may have immediately jumped there for a
solution.
OK, I was doing two things, (1) suggesting another simpler (more
readable) form, and (2) honestly asking whether this was, in fact,
a reasonable substitution, or whether there was a consideration
that I hadn't understood.
I always wind up with crappy code on my way to programs I like.
Writing code, like writing English, is a process of inspiration
and rework. I like the process in code, and hate the same process
for writing English. Probably for two reasons.
First, I have been harassed while writing English so often that I
hear all such nonsense when I write. This is really the effect of
bad teaching. Second, I am a prolific reader, and I very much
appreciate good writing at the caliber of "the dozen best in a
century." I read my writing and I notice a dramatic distance
between my best and their (published) worst. Tough competition.
