Comment (by ncohen):
Yooooooo !
Well, I can't put into Sage any code that breaks doctests, and I know
absolutely nothing of what WordPaths is meant to do so I cannot really
rewrite it `O_o`
The word.py file could very well do with a complete rewrite, to be honest.
These class inheritances are hell to work with. Or perhaps we would just
need to create additional classes, so that classes exposed to the user
can't be Words_all or anything similar. My problem is that there is no
class for infinite words which will not ALSO be inherited by classes of
finite words. So it's pretty hard to write infinite-specific code.
This could be solved by only returning to the user new classes that also
inherits from Words_all even when the user wants infinite words (which are
handled by Words_all right now). This way we would have a way to know what
each class deals with.
Learning git takes a bit of time, though you can easily master it with a
week-end's afternoon or something like that. It's funny, and new but not
so complicated after all. And you can ask around if you have questions
`:-)`
Aaaaaaand everything should be documented on #14481 as this will be the
future dev documentation !
