Have a look at zope.interface.__init__.py -> alsoProvides

I'm going to write an alternative implementation of

object contains an image...
isimage=(mimetype(self.data).split('/')[0] == 'image')
... and I want to dynamically make the object implement another interface ...
Ehhh. Really? I must say that I find that a very suspiscious way of
handling that problem. Rather I would use a factory that generates the
correct type of object (image or file) from the data.
Different factories won't help because the user should be able to update
the file object's content after ist was created.
if isimage:
IImage.provide(self)
else:
IImage.dontprovide(self)
Unfortunately, there is no 'provide' method on interfaces :-( .
Of course, you don't want to make an interface dynamically be another
interface, that just doens't make any sense. You could probably do it
by making the OBJECT provide different interfaces dynamically.
OK - this was a bit confusing. One more try:
I want to make an object provided one interface (IFile) always and one
interface (IImage) "sometimes". Sometimes means "whenever libmagic thinks,
the file is an Image". I don't want to modify any interface but only the
object's list of provided interfaces.
