At what point can we consider the API stable? All this inheriting and subtyping seems like it would be absolutely brilliant for the Mac toolbox APIs (and I suspect also for the PythonWin API's, Mark?) but I've refrained from even looking at it (well, I did have a quick peek:-), because (a) I have no time, (b) I don't want to chase a changing API and (c) there's some methodchain-based poor-mans-inheritance in there already that will undoubtedly break.

I don't plan to change the C API that was released in 2.2b1 incompatibly. Besides, I won't have time to touch it after next Friday. :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
