[tuxdroid-user] Python API: store() and restore() unused

[neimad <ror...@gm...>]

Hello,

I was browsing the Tuxdro=C3=AFd's Python API and noticed two big functions,
namely store() and restore(), whose roles are to "save" the contents of
on_xxx members to s_on_xxx members and copy back s_on_xxx to on_xxx
later, respectively.

They don't seem to be used anywhere, though, so I'm willing to remove
them entirely. However, if there's a good reason to keep them, I would
rewrite them more concisely, something along the lines of:

    def store(self):
        members =3D [m for m in self.__dict__ if m[:3] =3D=3D "on_"]
        for m in members:
                self.__dict__["saved_" + m] =3D self.__dict__[m]

    def restore(self):
        members =3D [m for m in self.__dict__ if m[:3] =3D=3D "on_"]
        for m in members:
                self.__dict__[m] =3D self.__dict__["saved_" + m]

And maybe even return the "saved" state instead of storing it within
the object.

This could be applied to clear() as well:

    def clear(self):
        for member in self.__dict__:
            if member[:3] =3D=3D "on_":
                self.__dict__[member] =3D None

The problem with in doing so is that currently the objects have both
variables and methods with the same name: on_status and on_status(),
for example. Thus it would require to rename either of these.

Comments ?
