Not a -lot-, but there are things I don't catch sometimes.

I am blind, so colorful editors don't really work all that well for me.

     def __init__(self):
         self.events = {}
         self.components = []
         self.contents = []
         self.uid = uuid4().int
         self.events['OnLook'] = teventlet()


Basically events don't get initialized like I'd like after I depickle 
objects.
