Re: [Pypentago-devel] Embedding Images in Python files

[Florian M. <flo...@ai...>]

It will just save some CPU as it will not have to load the images from
the file again and again for each square there is.
Be sure to svn update your local copy as I made a lot of changes today,
also to your files. I noticed you catch exceptions often and then return
a string saying that it failed. It is much better to just catch the
exception some where else where it can be handled better.

Now login works fine. I hope you will continue work on the glicko2
module some time.

Best regards,
