It instantiates a 'str' object. The 'str' object is the adapter for
'something'.
Huh? This would be a severe terminology abuse:
I agree, it's bending the terminology a lot. It wasn't me who came up
with the 'str' and 'int' example.
An adapter should adapt something to something else *BUT*
an "str" object does not adapt anything (it does not operate on
another object).
Well, imagine
>>> str(123)
'123'
Here '123' is the 'str' adapter of the integer 123. It's conceptually
the same if you do
>>> IZopeDublinCore(myobj)
except that in the str(123) case, you call the class directly instead of
using the Component Architecture's registry as a flexible dispatch.
