Damn looo, these threads are gold for their historical value. They help explain why some things are written in the way they are right now, and what could be done to improve the situation.

We definitely need to improve the documentation in the wiki because it's not easy to find this type of information in the forum for easy reference.

Indeed documentation is not enough though after two years I am still far from understanding what @looo pointed to

Code: Select all

import ArchWall

class SubClassArchWall(ArchWall._Wall):
…

Is this still possible in 0.19? It seems the `Wall` class has been renamed to `_Wall` and is inaccessible for importing & therefore subclassing:
