Thanks for the link STeVe. Yes, this is the sort of thing I was
looking for. Looks like there's no way to actually leave comments on a
package though; just a (+) or (-) rating. No way to say something
like, "I like x, y, and z about this package, but n, m, and especially
o need to get fixed" though.

One strength of cpanratings is you can leave those comments. A well-
written review comment, like "I used this package, and here's how it
worked out ... If you need , you might try  instead of this one." is much more valuable than a thumbs-up or
thumbs-down.

package rating system for the Cheese Shop

2007-05-12 Thread cbtube03
Is there a package rating system for the Cheese Shop, like how Perl
has cpanratings (http://cpanratings.perl.org/)?

Do you think it would be useful?

I see that we already have Cheesecake (http://pycheesecake.org/) for
rating a package's kwalitee (like Perl's CPANTS). But browsing the
Cheese Shop, I don't see a way to view or sort by Cheesecake rating...
How can I see the kwalitee ratings of the packages at the Cheese Shop?

name capitalization of built-in types, True, and False

2007-05-11 Thread cbtube03
I see that naming conventions are such that classes usually get named
CamelCase. So why are the built-in types named all lowercase (like
list, dict, set, bool, etc.)?

And names for instances of classes are usually written in lowercase,
like foo in ``foo = CamelCase()``. So why are True and False
(instances of bool) capitalized? Shouldn't they be "true" and "false"?
Same goes for None.
