Hello, I've got a design problem for a classifier. To make it short: it maps strings on strings.
Some strings have exactly one classification, some none and some more than one. There's a method classify(self, word) wich classifies a word. For the first case there's no problem: - one classification: return the value (it's a string) But: - none classification: return an exception or None? I think None is better, hence its not an exception that there is no classification but a defined state. What do you think? - many classifications: what to do? retun a sequence of strings? raise an exception and implement another method wich returns than the classifications? what should I do here? thanks for your answers! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
