--- Comment #3 from Tor Lillqvist <[email protected]> ---
But why do we keep knowingly broken and unused machine-generated Python code in
the master branch of the repo for seven years? It is just confusing. If at some
time you or somebody works on this again, surely the converter tool can be run
once more? Maybe the tool has even become better since?
The current situation is bad as it misleads people looking for Python code
samples. Like I did. I am not 100% fluent in Python, but as I know the basics
and it is such a nice language to work with, I usually manage fine by just
grepping or googling for things I don't recall. So yesterday when I didn't
remember how to take a substring in Python, I grepped as above, and didn't
understand at all why Python claims the substring() method was wrong even if
(as I thought) our code clearly ,uses it...
The very least, the file names should be changed to *.py.broken, or they should
be put in a directory called python-wip-broken, or something similar to make it
obvious it is not actual working code? But best would be to keep this only in a
branch, I think.
