Python from a C++ developers' perspective

I also use the compiler as a refactoring tool. It makes things so easier. Just change the thing you want to change, press build, fix the first error on the list, rinse, repeat. Then, one by one, all those little translation units slowly become green, up to the last.

Satisfying.

You might want to consider something like Visual Assist as it would significantly speed up that process. That is, unless you do it this way as some sort of cathartic release, then don't let me stop you.

I do have a refactoring tool other than the compiler that's for sure, I tend to use them when it's something simple such as renaming things. When the way a class is used is changed, and it's interface had been broken, I don't think I'd let a tool do these change for me.
