Thank you Kent, I've done the modifications you suggested, and the code
follows. I splitted the __init__ method in four methods (__init__, header,
footer, dir_browser) and took the get_file_names out of pyrun class. Now I
have two more general questions, if you don't mind.
1) (first a philosophical/methodological question) I see now that we can use
classes in at least two ways. In my code, the class, as you said, is used as
a container. In this case, the distinction class/instance isn't really
important, as I will never have several instances of the same class. OTOH, I
suppose it's not really OO programming. These statements are ok?
2) (a technical question, now) How do I test if a variable has been declared?
In my first code, I used the try/except clause for that, but now you showed
me a way of doing it without testing. But now I would like to add a cache in
get_file_names(). For that, I would create a dir_cache variable of type dict,
and store in it {'cwd': 'dirlist + filelist'} pairs. But how do I know if
it's the first time, if I have to create the variable or just read from it?
Thanks,
Tiago.
