The problem with something like this being optional is that a programmer too lazy to either implement a full dict interface or document what he has implemented will also likely be too lazy to bother using the optional interface definition stuff. And if it's *not* optional, duck typing goes out the window completely, and you have Java. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
