sounds reasonable.
note that for simple applications, you can put the controller logic in the Model
object, and let the UI call the relevant methods directly. however, putting
con-
troller logic in the UI code is almost never a good idea.
or in other words, if "do_update" is an UI callback that's called when the user
clicks "Update" in your UI, doing
def do_update(self):
self.controller.update()
or
def do_update(self):
self.model.update()
is perfectly okay, but
def do_update(self):
sum = 0
for record in self.model.select(...):
sum = some operation
self.model.update(...)
isn't a good idea.
