Thanks for doing this, Alex! I yet have to read the whole thing [will attempt do so later today] but the few snippets I caught make me feel this is a big step forward. I'm wondering if someone could do a similar thing for PEP 245, interfaces syntax? Alex hinted that it's a couple of rounds behind the developments in Zope and Twisted. I'm personally not keen on needing *two* new keywords (interface and implements) so I hope that whoever does the rewrite could add a section on the advantages and disadvantages of the 'implements' keyword (my simplistic alternative proposal is to simply include interfaces in the list of bases in the class statement; the metaclass can then sort it out). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
