OK, so several people are keen for a push for a cosmetic refactoring of
the code base to be more in line with PEP 8
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/psychopy-dev/ds843ckNtrw
The refactoring will break the history on a lot of files, and create
merge conflicts for any code in development branches that haven't been
merged beforehand so I want it to occur only once, for a short period,
with a known start/end time. I'd also suggest a fair amount of work on
adding test coverage before the refactoring takes place. It would be
good to know how far we are from Python3 compatibility afterwards too.
After the refactoring occurs I will be urging contributors more strongly
to focus on things that benefit the users and rejecting cosmetic changes.
I'm drawing the line at switching from CamelCase to snake_case. Sorry to
those that like that, but it will upset too many people for the pleasure
of a few.
With those caveats in mind, do the refactoring folk have a time they'd
like to do this so I can make sure I don't touch any code at the same
time (I'll probably get angry and upset)? Would some week in late Jan be
about right?
best wishes
Jon
