Could somebody give any rationale why this condition shouldn't always hold:

Seems it is not unreasonable to expect this behaviour, because it is exactly what interfaces are all about, or am I wrong?
If the adapter is a function, the function may not implement the interface. The actual expected behavior is that the result of *calling* the adapter *provides* the interface. An adapter class may well implement the interface in order for this to happen, but it's not a necessary condition.
That's true, and I don't see how does it differ from my pseudocode example. And neither the twisted.web.server.Session class implements, nor it's objects provides the ISession interface. -- jk
