I think I saw some of these following from the wikipedia page that
came up on aop when I googled aop and python.

why a framework for aop and dependency injection would be used in
python? or in general?

in general? works well for me with java. I've never needed it for
simple python stuff I use at work. it would have been great to have
for the tcl jobs I've had before. I feel like evangelizing my old
company to tell them to see if something out there exists like this
for tcl (though I googled and it looks like more python people think
about aop than do tcl people. went to the tcler's wiki and just found
some bloviations, no projects)

I guess... if you need the features, great. if not, don't bother.

and if you do it yourself with vanilla features, maybe you'd
eventually end up turning your stuff into a framework.

In my early days of using tcl I hacked up a logging thing where I made
people use my own proc that wrapped their proc in logging when making
a real proc.

sure

I'd rather learn the base until I have a good enough feel for how much
value a framework would add.
