Python Interface Proposal I have been working on a proposal for enhancing the existing interface documentation in Zope. The Wiki for this project can be found here: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Interfaces/FrontPage An artifact of this project is formal Python/Zope support for "Interfaces". It's a vague word, and I know it means a lot of things to a lot of people, so I am interested in soliciting comments from the Python community. I have enhanced and fixed some bugs in Jim Fulton's 1998 Interfaces "scarecrow" proposal. One of the enhancements is user documentation. This would be a good place for you to start if you are interested in a high level, simple overview: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Interfaces/InterfaceUserDocumentation The occasional weird formatting is because of the Wiki. This file is also contained in the release if you want something in-hand. If you want some higher fiber details, take a lot at Jim's original proposal document: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Interfaces/OriginalInterfaceREADME which is also contained in the release. The current version is 0.2.0, and it is still a "scarecrow" piece of software, but it is usable, very interesting, and may stimulate some thoughts, all of which I would like to hear from you. The best way to capture those thoughts is right in the Wiki, which requires membership at Zope.org (which is free). Otherwise, you can send comments to me (michel@digicool.com). You can download the Interface-0.2.0.tgz package from Zope.org at: http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Products/Interfaces/index_html If you are interested at looking at some of the higher level, Zope oriented goals of this project, take a look at the fishbowl proposal: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Interfaces/OriginalProposal Thanks! -Michel
