The worst thing about Python is that when you spend a lot of time working with other languages (in my case, Java), and you come back to work on a Python app, occasionally you forget that there’s usually a better way to do something. Case in point: creating a rather simplistic framework for initialising an application (db connections, messaging, etc), only to realise a few days later that none of your dynamic loading of initialisation scripts is necessary in the slightest, when a module’s __init__ provides as much of that capability as might be needed.
Sigh.
On a completely unrelated note, a special thanks to the various people who’ve recently linked to this site (specifically to the YAK page). I was never that bothered by an abysmally low technorati ranking, but now find myself absurdly pleased when I’ve climbed up by about half-a-million.
Well… I’m still in the 500,000s anyway, it’s an improvement. A-list? Can you say Z-list?
