Re: Python CL Command Wrappers

I think it's fine and will serve as a pattern for some invocations. Sparser
code is possible when the requirements are seen differently.

I was observing that the design patterns, the one your code demonstrates or
another one, comprise the important lesson.

Haven't you ever defined a command ? Those parm definitions look pretty
straightforward to me.

Apparently in your rush to poke holes you didn't read my post closely that
mentioned I will probably tweak the parms to be closer in line with the
MONO command which has a single args value that takes in 1-40 parms.

This code iteration was done a couple years back and since John Y asked
for the code I packaged it up.

The important thing for me is that it works and works right every time. If
nobody else uses it they can at least study and learn from it and do their
own thing with it.

Back to my Easter food coma.

... no, not at all ... did I say something? :)

The important thing is, "Is it eagerly seized upon by some set of users as
a solution?"

Most likely you have made some folks happy with your fine work.

Sorry to miss you at COMMON. I'll keep Calvin busy :)
