[Dev] Python-related issues?

I'm making a list of Python-related issues we've encountered during 
Chandler development.  If you have some favorite issue that you have 
struggled with, please send it to me.

Here's a sample of some of the issues that I am aware of:

* How to best represent a callable in a persistent way in repository.
     - we currently use item/methodName in some cases, but it doesn't 
work well for classes that are not items.

* How to best structure our APIs and their documentation
     - is naming privates starting with an underscore and our usage of 
epydoc a good start?

* Which forms of code import should we use?
    - we tend to use "import" instead of "from".  Should we always be 
importing entire modules?

Thanks, in advance.
