Comment (by mantepse):
I tried (with a lot of help from the FindStat team) to answer the
(technical) objections raised above. In case somebody is interested in
having this finalized, I need a little help with the following items:
1) documentation and doctests
2) I believe that statistics, collections and maps should have something
similar to a unique representation, but I'm not sure how to achieve this,
especially for statistics. I should mention that it is quite possible
that at some point collections and maps can be edited, too. So the idea
is to have caching enabled for objects with id different from 0...
3) Christian told me that I need to do something like lazy import, but I
currently don't really know what that is. I simply followed `oeis.py`...
4) a design question: it appears that, in sage, python properties are
hardly used at all. I have no idea why. Currently, the interface uses
properties to allow editing statistics (collections and maps currently
cannot be edited). This implies some inconsistencies. Therefore:
- should I change read-only properties like `FindStatStatistic.id` to
ordinary methods?
- should I do the same with the other properties, i.e., provide methods
`FindStatStatistic.description` and `FindStatStatistic.set_description`?
