Well I want to implement plug-in like mechanism for an application . I want to define some minimum functions that any body writing a plugin has to implement. For that i thought an interface would be best because in a scenario where the function is not implemented some kind of error would occur. I would love to hear if you think their is a better way to achieve this <br>

class MyInterface(object):<div class="im"><br>
doSomething(line):<br>
raise NotImplementedError<br>
doSomethingElse(line):<br>
raise NotImplementedError<br>
<br>
I think that is exactly the kind of structure i was looking for ...<br>

As a matter of interest, why? What do you anticipate using this for?<br>
I have found a few cases where abstract interfaces are useful but they are very few and far between.<br><font color="#888888">
