This is the Backwards Incompatibility PEP discussed earlier.  I've
submitted it for a PEP number, but haven't heard back yet:

This is potentially a Python 2.6 PEP, but it has some optional
extensions for Python 3000 and may be relevant to the
adaptation/overloading/interfaces discussion.  It proposes a make
statement such that:
    make <callable> <name> <tuple>:
        <block>
would be translated into the assignment:
    <name> = <callable>("<name>", <tuple>, <namespace>)
much in the same way that the class statement works.  I've posted it
to comp.lang.python and had generally positive feedback.  I've
submitted it for a PEP number, but I haven't heard back yet:
