We need to keep in mind things like debugging and code discovery (IDE, tags, grep), when talking about requiring the use of a preprocessor for extensions. For an application like ours that is very heavily embedded/extended I'm concerned how difficult it will be debug, develop, and maintain these generated extensions. Generated code can be a big time saver while you'r developing the code, but eventually you have to go digging into it, then it's always way more painful. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRXHrUHEjvBPtnXfVAQJdGwP/dCFh8+8PeGOdVWeDlhktIEA+ljUKePRW Bu6vbiWNkxiBBRDWyYcNJBWGhwRC/BE7aQuxGZa3s/LyMpjFpU7xY+8DxEwsORUD C9zKYp9hNN3RB+YnB4zrTMb5sNL/Xeblj33pLUpF22YV49mAayKnhI5pK7e/Z+3T VznlRMElACc= =f928 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
