I think Matthieu is just referring to the DRY/SPOT 
violations I pointed out.  Generally speaking, you should 
not have two files containing duplicate code.

Just for example, one might refactor as follows:

        algencan_common.py
        (for code found in both current files)

        algencan.py
        (support for current version (unnumbered))

        algencan1.py (support for version 1)

The last two would import from the first as needed.
This is not a "proposal" per se, just an illustration.
