Hi Luca,
Cool that you're doing a coding dojo at a conference!
Was there supposed to be some code attached to this comment? I'm not sure what updates you've made?

Here are the latest changes I made to the Python code: https://github.com/lucaminudel/TDDwithMockObjectsAndDesignPrinciples/tree/master/TDDMicroExercises/python

If you are interested I made minor updates also to the code of the exercises in the orher languages.

Thanks Luca! I've incorporated some of your updates into my python version. I couldn't see many changes in the Java version which is the other one I tend to use. Did you notice I added a C++ version of a couple of the exercises?

btw I didn't like your use of a double underscore in tire pressure monitoring (__OFFSET), I think one underscore is enough. I believe double underscore is generally reserved for language features.

Useful feedback, much appreciated

I was aiming to set the visibility of the constant to private. I saw this http://docs.python.org/release/1.5.1p1/tut/private.html . Looks like that's not the right way. Is single underscore the way to go then?

In the UnicodeFileToHtmTextConverter exercise I noticed you import the html module that does not work on my mac, I used the cgi module instead. Any comment/suggestion on this?

The main change is in the TelemetryClient class (the one that simulate the connection and the communication with a telemetry server) from the TelemetrySystem exercise. I simplified the send() and receive() methods, now the code is easier to read and understand. Now this Java code is in sync with the C# and all the others.

A friend of mine is working to the porting of the proposed solution in Java, soon I should merge that in the repo.

Yep, I'm happy to add that code to the repo. Do you want to send a pool request or do you want me to copy it?

The documentation you refer to is an absolutely ancient version of Python I'm afraid! By convention a single underscore indicates private, even though it technically isn't, double underscore adds some name-mangling but actually no more privacy. It just adds complexity.

The html module is for Python 3, cgi is for Python 2 - they are not compatible with each other. I've just pushed a version with comments explaining that.

I think our repos are so far out of sync that it's probably easier for you to just copy the C++ files actually!

Regards,
Emily
