> Hello Michael,
Hi Franco,
> The all.py file imports only a few things into the global namespace:
> Alphabet
> Word
> WordMorphism
> WordOptions
> Words
> words
Ok, that seems acceptable. But what is the difference between words and
Words? I can tell you that there are many people (including William)
around in Sage that absolutely dislike case sensitivity behavior changes,
i.e. think LinAlg in Maple 10 or so.
> 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
As mentioned above five symbols in global namespace is fine. There are
other subsystems that are much, much worst in this regard and it will take
a while to fix those.
> 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.
There is no standard way AFAIK, but we might want to come up with one as
more and more "libraries" are becoming part of standard Sage.
