In a word: adaptation. (Caveat: it's been a while since I looked at very much of Twisted, and even longer for Zope; but ISTR that Twisted hardly ever checked to see what things implemented, compared to how often it just adapted. Zope 3, meanwhile, has major infrastructure built on adaptation, even though it does do some introspection and typechecking.) _______________________________________________ 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
