-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello xqt!
First thanks - and sorry for re-raising the issue! I'm aware that you tried to explain me - in fact you did well, but still I was able to confuse myself again... ;) (may be since ID: 3084721 was still open) Site.dbName() is very simple since it just returns '%swiki_p' % code (for historic reasons ;). As you correct statet I need a 'dbname2wikilink()' conversion, which I try to do in a most general way. And as you said I am using a (dirty and bad) side effect. Now thats the point - is there really no other correct way of doing it (beside text modification with 'replace' - which is essantially what I am doing now)? What about loading all families to call their 'dbName()' member? Somehow brute force... isn't it? :) So since we (finally ;) can agree to PEP20 (The Zen of Python) I would like to write such a 'dbname2wikilink()' and this without breaking the rules. So where to place? 'wikipedia.Site', 'textlib', ...? And what method to use? Modification with 'replace', 'family.dbName', ...? (Hopefully you are Dutch and can give me some hints...? ;)) Thanks a lot for your patience (and good memory! ;)) Greetings Dr.Trigon Am 30.08.2011 22:50, schrieb [email protected]: > Hi DrTrigon, > > "wiki" is reserved by Family.known_families.
