I don't know -- from my point of view, the fact that Zope and Twisted rely on them so much seems like a strangely unpythonic aberration. They don't seem to have caught on in a big way outside those two packages. > Read PEP 3119's Rationale. I did read it, and it seemed to be nothing more than a proposal to provide a way of doing something that shouldn't be done in the first place, i.e. large-scale use of LYBL. I see that you're now talking about providing some way of declaring a type as conforming to an ABC after the fact, which does mitigate things somewhat. But I still have large misgivings about the comefromish nature of such a thing, and its close cousins, adaptation and generic functions. From my point of view, it still seems like a rather elaborate solution in search of a deservingly pressing problem. -- 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
