[Python-Dev] About code comments policy (and Handler order in urllib2) (original) (raw)

One question and one answer (this is a balanced post, :p).

The question is what to do when we found a question in a code. Reading urllib2 I found:

XXX why does self.handlers need to be sorted?

I found the answer, so I deleted that line, and added a comment in that place just to clarify.

Shall I do something else? Like posting here the answer?

BTW, the answer to that question is that the handlers must work in an specific order. The order is specified in each Handler (handler_order class attribute), and BaseHandler has lt defined using that attribute. So, OpenerDirector, keeps self.handler ordered with bisect.insort.
