Interesting. Now you are trying to claim that, because you don’t
understand what the code does, that makes it somehow “meaningless”?

I covered that in an earlier post.

 Maybe in your mind you thought you did. Nowhere in your comments on this
code did you say so, that I can find.

To be accurate, the code in question was not actually /meaningless/ - it was merely pointlessly complex, inefficient and unclear.
You wrote:
     def register_additional_standard(self, **kwargs) :
         for key in kwargs :
             if kwargs[key] :
                 if key == "managed_objects" :
    # ....
                 else :
                     raise TypeError("unrecognized argument keyword “%s”" % key)
I changed it in a re-write to:
     def register_additional_standard(self, managed_objects) :
         if managed_objects :
             # ....
That change, I think, was lost in the discussions about bizarre formatting practices.
