I think I still rather like explicit, but I'm on the fence about
which approach is best. What do other people think?
From your description, I would use a subclassing (and forget about
proxy and copying).
That would be a nightmare, on multiple levels:
- All of the separate implementations would become tightly
coupled, which is what happens with inheritance.
- Either someone would have to create classes for the various
permutations of features, or consumers would have to mix and
match multiple classes to get what they want and sort out the
variate internal implementation incompatibilities.
Your decorators would become mixin classes
and the final classes would list the features they like -- simpler
than ZCML binding together...
Of course, some features may not play well with one another.
But, that will make problems also with proxies or copying...
Even this could be sorted out with special cleanup or
secure mixins which can do dirty tricks like accessing
self.__class__.__bases__ to fixup ;) (Much like combining
the copy with the subclass approach)
Uh huh.
I'm for mixin with strong guidelines on implementation
(e.g. how to call private attributes to not pollute the
namespace)
Forget it. Inheritance is not an option.
