> I was not suggesting that a class name should be a verb, I think my biggest mistake here was the use of the word "function" which, in a programming community, has a very specific meaning whereas I was thinking of the natural English meaning. It might have been better if I'd said classes should be named for their *purpose* or their *role*. And, in fact, that's true of any variable in any language, it should express intent not internal structure. Apologies for any resulting confusion. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
