'forward class' for an incomplete class is not at all clear to me. It is not clear to me which part of speech you intend it to be: noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. You must have some experience with 'forward' in a different context that makes it clearer to you.
Pascal has a "forward" keyword[1] for declaring functions, and the term is often used for the same concept in other languages even if it's spelled differently. So I think it would be fine here, although "def" would also work if you want to reuse an existing keyword. [1] Actually it's a context-sensitive pseudo-keyword, which is an unusual thing to find in Pascal; maybe Wirth added it as an afterthought? -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/6M4MEEMNAFM6H2ST75XVNNUUSO5MY7MY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
