There are at least three interface systems already (zope, twisted, and pyprotocols). I think that python will bring some very interesting developments to interfaces, but I don't think that excessive restrictions will be part of the mix. Instead, it will be more about making systems more flexible and more easily extensible by easing discovery of new things that support the interfaces you are interested in. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

VideoLAN - oh happy day !
by Jason Cunliffe Dec. 4, 2003

http://videolan.org Awesome video streaming software by some very smart students in Paris. Free, cross platform and open source -- This is a brilliant toolkit which Pythonistas will surely want to inteface with. VideoLAN is one of best examples of open source programming I've seen. Puts most of the rest to shame. And thus now has a growing community of dedicated users and contrubutors... By my reckoning, VideoLAN is going to become THE core video streaming toolset used by people with good sense everywhere. Especially in education/lering applications enjoy :-) - Jason

Some not very sporting or appropriate, but snide and knowing remark might be expected of me on this occasion. And I don't like to disappoint. Something about a revised raison d'etre du jour adopted by Alice is about all I've come up with, though. Art

PyCon education track update?
by Arthur Dec. 3, 2003

Dec. 3, 2003

Happens that for myself, study and programming is larger a winter sport. My garden gone til the spring and golfing finished for the season ... so I have recently jumped back, with both feet, into extending my understanding of math/geometry. PyGeo is a working tool in those efforts, and the extension and improvement of PyGeo mostly a byproduct. But PyGeo is getting extended and improved. Decent documentation as usual being back burnered. It not being something *I* need to use and enjoy PyGeo. But am I needing to make time for a proposal for PyCon? Any prognosis on the fate of the education track? Art

i've heard that php5 will include declaration of attributes which are private, public and protected... aside from that interfaces which will be implemented by a class can also be created... in line with OO principles, wouldnt these features be good if implemented in python??? ali... :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
