just sin(x+2) looks most natural. exactly why I asked, first module
and class or class and function have same name so we don't know which
is which, then conflict when dev1 uses one convention and dev2
another. I anyway complied towards the devendency so that next commit
from dev 2 is compatible with dev 1 and viceversa. My choice would
have been ...=datetime.now which was incompatible
with ...=datetime.datime.now() therefore just rather refactoring my
thing to comply with the dependecies than the other way, changing the
patch, appears the smoothest way here.
Thanks for all help
