As best I remember, there has been little posted here over several years other than general comments like 'Python makes it easier to refactor'. So there is room for you to do something new ;-). Where to look: if you have not already, read the tutorial, at least chap 2 of the Library Ref, and at least skim the FAQ. Use Google or whatever for web searches. Specifically use Google for searching its archives of comp.lang.python. Then ask specific questions here. >The idea is to define some 'mechanics' for refactoring Python code >without specialized refactoring browser. In other words, I want >to convert Fowler's refactorizations to Python. > Similar work (or its seeds) is here: > http://hiper.com.br/python/refactor/index.html I have not seen this before. Since he only did chapter 1, I think 'seed' is the word. Another specifically helpful reference might be Beck's (author?) book on Test-Driven Development. Part 1 uses an example in Java, I believe. Part 2, I know, uses an example in Python. There at least used to be a copy online. Wishing you an 'A' and hoping to see the result online... Terry J.
