Thanks, I am familiar with that. > BTW, have you *ever* tested your code? Yes, we have a QA process. The problem is not that the code doesn't work, it does. It was developed by a mix of more and less experienced programmers, and early in the code's history, some hadn't been trained on the benefits of complying to an API, or Pythonic idioms like the leading underscore. So the code varies in its clarity, and some maintenance chores aren't as pleasant as they might be. I have found that the work of more experienced programmers often includes improving the quality of code written by less experienced programmers.
