[OH-Dev] helpers vs. controllers

[Asheesh Laroia]

Howdy all,

Some of you may have noticed that we sometimes have files called 
"helpers.py" or "controllers.py".

Some others of you might have been trying to implement, or refactor, a 
view.

Here's what I am thinking:

Where these helpers/controllers exist, and are bits of code (e.g., 
functions/classes) that make a view possible, I think we should put them 
in:

mysite/app_name/view_helpers.py

(e.g. mysite/search/view_helpers.py )

That will mean moving a bunch of code around, but I think it will be for 
the good. I hope Nathan Yergler might be able to say if he thinks it's a 
good idea or not!

(If it is a good idea, we should write it down in a style guide, and then 
do a massive code move. Then I can stop having to make faces when I 
explain why our Django project has a "controllers.py" file.)
