[Zope3-Users] Interface confusion (still)

[Shailesh Kumar]

Hi,

I believe not. In any case, implements, provides and such things are more
like indications of what is being supported by a class and they are not
enforced by runtime strictly.

I just tried following:

#####################################################################

from zope.component import *
from zope.interface import *
from zope.interface.verify import *

class IA(Interface): pass

class IB(IA): pass




class B(object):
    implements(IB)


verifyClass(IA, B)  #returns True
verifyClass(IB, B) #returns True
verifyClass(Interface, B) #returns True



class IC(Interface) : pass

#####################################################################


Its usually a good idea to setup unit tests for testing these kind of
things.

With regards,
- Shailesh
