Hi Trey,
The Python Cookbook tries to attack this problem,
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/
and its approach to this has been to put such snippets in a central
database, and to use both categories and a search engine to maintain
order.
If you run across snippets that have come in handy for yourself, it might
be good to put them in the Cookbook. Using a personal database
application is also practical, but if you can enter them into the Python
Cookbook as well, then others may find them of value.
Best of wishes to you!
