Python Rope Tutorial

"Refactoring" is a process by which the syntax of a particular piece of code is changed to reflect changes in naming or organization, without changing how the code executes. Variable name changes, method modifications and module renaming all fall under the heading of refactoring. The Python Rope libraries serve as a refactoring tool for Python scripts, and by installing rope and the rope IDE graphical interface, you can easily navigate and refactor your Python code.

      Rename the class by selecting "A" in the "class A:" line. Click "Refactor" and then click "Rename." In the new window, change the name of the class from "A" to "B." The code will now look like the following:

      #!/usr/bin/python

      class B:
      def stuff():
      print"hi"

      a = B()
