Summary: Strange behaviour concerning variable names
Initial Comment:
For some reason python coders seem to be unaware of the
fact that Python allows variable names to be longer
than one char - let's have a look at a function from
BitTorrent for example:
def decode_list(x, f):
r, f = [], f+1
while x[f] != 'e':
v, f = decode_func[x[f]](x, f)
r.append(v)
return (r, f + 1)
I'm not sure about the reasons for this behaviour yet
but I suspect serious brain-damage caused by
indentation-based structuring.
A possible workaround: switching to a sane language
like Ruby.
