Re: [PD-dev] missing file from pd-MAIN and fftw version

Hallo, Miller Puckette hat gesagt: // Miller Puckette wrote:

Yes indeed. I'm thinking of automatically having new classes shadow old ones, so that anything in Pd could simpy be "externed" over. Not sure of all the long-term ramifications, but I like the idea.

Namespaces, anyone? ;)

I think, "externing over" should be a feature on patch level. I'm thinking of something like the Python syntax for importing modules which basically has three forms:

import zexy # builtin fft: fft() # zexy's fft has to be called with prefix: zexy.fft()

from zexy import fftw # now fft() also calls zexy's fft: fft()

from zexy import * # again zexy's fft shadows the builtin fft: fft()

Ciao
