There's class decorators:

    @implements(IExample)
    class Example:
        pass

which could provide the same result in effect, but (as J-P points out)
it's still an API change and so not a direct replacement. IIRC, one of
the arguments for class decorators was that they are a way to avoid
the need for some of this getframe hacking, though.
