I just wanted to point out that short code paths don't necessarily translate to poor code. Measuring the quality of code is tricky and certainly modularity is a positive, but just having a short fast code path doesn't mean the code isn't modular. I took a brief glance at the wheezy repo. The functions and methods looked pretty modular to me. $ sloccount $(find src -type d| grep -v tests) ... SLOC Directory SLOC-by-Language (Sorted) 994 handlers python=994 451 src python=451 316 middleware python=316 Totals grouped by language (dominant language first): python: 1761 (100.00%) Only 1761 non-test LOC, hmm... let's find out how large the functions really are: $ cat $( find scr -name '*.py' | grep -v tests ) | grep 'def ' | wc -l 87 $ cat $( find scr -name '*.py' | grep -v tests ) | grep 'class ' | wc -l 19 There appear to be 87 functions and methods in a total of 19 classes. This means the average function size is only 20 lines of code.
