No code in text form, but I find the following video by Raymond Hettinger very clear
about the values of refactoring otherwise seemingly fine code

https://youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M?t=12m39s

code starts at 12 min. 40 sec.

It does require a bit of background knowledge about Python and the PEP8 code style and
API design.
