Do pythons like sugar?

I didn't say your design was imperfect, I said your
implementation was.  Though upon review, what I though
was an error in your code (regarding long word lengths)
is not.  That error of mine is not germane to the rest
of this thread.

Me? Trolling?  That's the first time in 12+ years of
newsgroups that I've been accused of that.  You're
pretty thin skinned or hot headed if you believe this
to be the case.

Unlikely that you can find it, but hey, it's little
skin off my nose and it's cute in an evil sort of way

But if you or anyone uses this in your code, you should
be rightly chastised by everyone else in a code review.

In other words "DO NOT USE IN REAL CODE - I WILL NOT BE
HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DEPLOY WITH THIS.  FOR NOVELTY
USE ONLY."

 >>> class Foo:
...     eggs = 1
...     def doit(self):
...             self.spam = 5
...             self.tomato = 3
...             for x in dir(self): exec "%s = self.%s" % (x,x)
...             for k, v in locals().items():
...                     print k, "==", v
...             print
...             print "the calculation yields", tomato ** spam
...
 >>> Foo().doit()
doit == <bound method Foo.doit of <__main__.Foo instance at 0x815a284>>
tomato == 3
__module__ == __main__
spam == 5
x == tomato
self == <__main__.Foo instance at 0x815a284>
eggs == 1
__doc__ == None

the calculation yields 243
