It won't fix the problem,but you'll feel better.

edit - yup, got it. I upgraded packages and took the shortcut I normally take which mucked up a config file because some guy across the pond changed something I wasn't aware of.

This is a monster piece of code. A modpython based calendering/conference/meeting/agenda workflow package written at our sister lab that I have done alot of work on. It's a great but complicated project, and before I had gotten involved had not really exploited OO programming in Python before. I laughed out loud when I first saw this package was 200K+ lines and 400 modules, yet the entire program for running it consisted of this:

Code: Select all

import <packagename>.webinterface.rh.welcome as welcome

def index(req, **params):
    return welcome.RHWelcome( req ).process( params )

That's it, that's the entire index.py program. But then you see what the process method does, and RHWelcome objects inherit from RH objects which inherit from .... literally 20+ levels deep.

And I realize only geeky computer people will care about this...

I understand, jim. I hate walking away from a problem I'm stuck on even if that's actually the best way to find a solution. Unfortunately as I am single, there is nobody but my dog to motivate me to get home on time. Got in one of those ruts last night and ending up getting home at an ungodly hour. Just enough time to eat something, go to sleep, and come back here.
