You say above that you looked at zope.interface.
Did you look at zope.interface.verify?
Specifically, verify.txt doctests state that:

	"An object provides an interface if

	- either its class declares that it implements the interfaces,
	  or the object declares that it directly provides the interface

	- the object defines all the methods required by the interface

	- all the methods have the correct signature

	- the object defines all non-method attributes required by the
	  interface"

zope.interface.verify.verifyObject(I, obj) will check all of the above.
Similarly, zope.interface.verify.verifyClass(I, C) will check the class.
It is a good practice to call these functions in the regression tests.

If this is not what you are looking for, sorry for the noise.
