No, you restrict the interfaces, in your example, not the classes. It is the same in python, but the interfaces are implicitly defined by how you use the objects. > I see what you mean by "duck typing".

Also, remember that this means if you write code to expect a dictionary, any mapping type that supports the operations and methods you use will work transparently, allowing your code to be much more flexible. -- Read my blog!
