python's OOP question

[Ben Finney]

I donnot agree with your "it's time to refactory" very much, man has
probly never has time to do such things.

I respectfully suggest that the *reason* you find yourself with little
time to refactor is probably related to the fact that you *need* to
refactor. If your code is crufty and poorly-designed, it is costing
you every time you need to maintain it.

Would it help if we called it "preventative maintenance"?

ivestgating the web, i found something similiar with my approch:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing
"Duck-typing avoids tests using type() or isinstance(). Instead, it
typically employs hasattr() tests"

It's pity it didn't get called quack typing. One ckecks if
some unknown noun can quack, not if a duck can do something
unknown.

It's pity it didn't get called quack typing.

That's because the quacks recommend static typing.

\ "I bought a dog the other day. I named him Stay. It's fun to |
`\ call him. 'Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!' He went insane. |
_o__) Now he just ignores me and keeps typing." -- Steven Wright |

I wonder which came first. That quote, or a similar plot point in an
old episode of "Danger Mouse". A robot named "Grovel": Get up, Grovel!
