s/Python//.  Lakos' "Large Scale C++ Programming" book, and Martin's
articles (originally in C++ Report, now on his objectmentor site), show
much the same approach is needed in other languages.  Of course, the
key issue is that different languages require different approaches to
componentization and dependency management.
