I have to say it is quite strange to me that there is no distinction made between IS-A relationship and HAS-A relationships with regard to the issue of Inheritence.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Inheritance is (or should be) used only for is-a relationships. Misusing it for has-a relationships leads to problems.
Python, confusingly makes no syntactic distinction,
Yes, it does, as long as you use composition instead of inheritance for has-a relationships. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
