Oh, I see. With duck-typing and ABCs, I don’t make a difference between protocols and interfaces in my head :) Also, the I in API does mean interface, but not imply bondage-and-discipline interface systems. > PEP 376 is *very* promising for this part - well at least if the PLUGINS > stuff becomes part of PEP 376, it doesn't seem to be mentioned at all at > the moment. The dist-info directory introduced by PEP 376 will certainly be reused. Not sure if Tarek will want to edit PEP 376 (already accepted) to add plugins in metadata (provides-dist is in metadata, so having plugins here can make sense), or start a new PEP about a new concept in a new file.
