Partly it is caused by using DTML for generating the python files. It is hard to get the indentation-sensitive python code generated reliably with template systems, also with DTML. In that case it is safer to add an extra whiteline at certain points. I agree that those whitelines can be ugly.

How can you > judge a CASE tool by people leaving unfinished files around? Agreed. We didn't get to finish it all during the castle sprint. Give us a bit of a break, Daniel. Many of the files in that directory are clearly just placeholders to indicate functionality, aren't they? Just jumping on one or two obvious placeholder files as easy criticism targets doens't help. > Why not just start calling it Genesis right now, then? If Jensens, > Phil, Reinout et. al. agree?
