Is there a standard/precedent for function decorations being verbs, adverbs or adjectives? I could see the verb from the implementor's point of view (you are wrapping/changing the given function), but the python syntax puts the identifying in a clearly declarative place. That indicates that it should be should be an adjective (you declare an "interactive" function. It's only later that it "interacts" with the user)
Is there any desire in Sage to keep naming consistent consitent from a grammmatical point of view? (i.e., nouns for functions that return a value, verbs for destructive operation) Very cool technology. What happens if you use this decorator outside of a notebook context? If LON-CAPA developers contact you, be sure to point them to a screenshot. It will surely get them interested. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
