Hello Michael,
Replying to [comment:4 mabshoff]:
> one issue that might be worth considering now before merging is "name
space pollution", i.e. there was some discussion at SD 11 that it would be
better to have most of the functionality of certain packages like
quadratic forms not in the global namespace. I am not sure what the
situation with words is (sorry, no time to apply the patch and play :)),
but it would be nice if most of the functionality would be in
> {{{
> words.$FOO
> }}}
The all.py file imports only a few things into the global namespace:
{{{
Alphabet
Word
WordMorphism
WordOptions
Words
words
}}}
Should we merge them all into the new "words" class? I assume then that a
user should be able to do something like the following to load all the
commands into the global namespace easily:
{{{
from words import *
}}}
or
{{{
LoadPackage(words)
}}}
Is there a standard way of doing this? I.e. a standard way of naming the
class that gets imported as words, a standard way of naming the file that
contains this class, etc. I think it would be nice if these are decided
upon soon because it would make finding them in the source code easy.
