I have quite a different point of view: Interfaces define essentially the signature of methods but these signatures can also directly be derived from the class. Zope3 interfaces are slightly better as they can also specify attributes -- which is very helpful as Python does not provide a good means for this. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
