Dear All
I'm a Master's student at Imperial College London currently selecting a Master's thesis subject. I am exploring the possibility of "optional typing" and "pluggable type systems" (Bracha) for Python. Reading around I see that PEP 246 (object adaption) was dropped for "something better". Is this "something better" currently in production for Python 3000 or just a thinking ground.
Thinking, as far as I know.
I'd like to know whether there would be any merit in exploring the project or whether this is something that is going to appear as implementation within the next 6 months (the length of my thesis).
If you think it is still something worth exploring I'd plan to pick up the idea as a research project and explore implementations, probabaly in CPython or Jython.
Any help with this would be great, could you please reply directly to ndunn@ndunn.com as I haven't subscribed to python-dev for a while now.
You can follow both python-dev and py3000 lists as newsgroups via news.gmane.org. It also has archives.
