Comment:
The real WTF here is not that !LinearCode is misusing the category
framework, but the utterly wrong and misleading error message that was
produced. In Python, !AttributeError means '''you''' need to implement
that attribute but haven't. Nathan and Punarbasu are experienced
developers, and if you manage to confuse them then I can guarantee your
that there are 10 potential Sage developers that gave up before they
posted anything on trac. If only a handful of people that have talked
personally to Nicolas can work with the framework then this is going to
kill Sage sooner or later. We need to be able to attract new developers,
and hurdles like the one in this ticket will prevent that for sure.
