I don't think *extends* is correct. An example: class I1(Interface): pass class I2(I1): pass In the case above ``I2`` extends ``I1``. ``I2`` inherits all fields and method declarations from ``I1``. But providing is different, since it does: class I1(IInterface): pass class I2(Interface): pass directlyProvides(I2, I1) Here ``I1`` is provided by ``I2``, in other words ``I2`` must provide all the methods and fields described in ``I1``. Also note that ``I1`` extends ``IInterface`` and not ``Interface``!
