Re: Suggestion for OCA conventions

 

If a module is picked up, it is nice for the dev to be able to see
directly without openening the files what models have been affected.

The product example might start with a single field, but there is no
guarentee that it won't grow with additions of on_change methods or
simple overwrites which end up growing the file in line numbers.

In that case would should we advocate splitting the product.py into
product_category.py? At which point do we make that transition, and how
do we make sure that the code is properly factored and won't regress?
