[Zope-dev] Re: New Name for Python Methods
(CC'ed to zope-dev.) Steve Jibson wrote: I just took the poll for the new name for Python Methods and so far, it looks like people like the existing name. Based on this, I have a suggestion for another name to add to the list: "pyMethod" (or "plMethod" for Perl) The same pattern--standard filename extension + "Method"--could be follwed for any future languages (i.e. cppMethod for C++) It's retains the same appeal as "Python Method" but eliminates some of the confusion. Maybe. What do you think of: "Python ZMethod" "Python Zope Method" "Python Web Method" Here's what the meat of the problem really is, explained well by Jim: Evan's Zope objects named "Python Methods" don't behave or look like methods defined by the Python programming language. There are quite a few people who think this is a problem. Evan has good reasons for wanting the current behavior. If this problem is considered to be significant, there are, a number of possible alternatives: 1. Change the name of Evan's objects, in which case "Python Method" shouldn't be a choice. 2. Change the behavior of Evan's objects to more closely match what Python programmers would recognize as a Python method. Thus the poll did not ask the right question.

Re: [Zope-dev] Re: New Name for Python Methods
Thus the poll did not ask the right question. To be honest, I was surprised that Python Method was still in the poll list. A new poll is not a good alternative, though. Any plans about what to do - take the second best. Re-polling. Apparently it was a bad day for elections in the US in general ;-) (sorry, couldn't resist) Rik ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

There are quite a few people who think this is a problem. They dont behave exactly the same, but Ive not seen a good summary of what differences those people believe to be a problem. Does anyone have a pointer? I can see many differences, but none I would class as a problem. (On the other hand, Im not adverse to using bytecodehacks in my straight python projects too. Perhaps Im just working with a broader definition of 'method') Toby Dickenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
