I'm one of the few (thousand) hard core Eiffel programmers on this world and i can tell you that this would not add to much to python. To get the benefits of it you need to use it together with a runtime that is designed from ground with DBC and a language that is fast enough to be able to check the contracts, if you don't have the latter all you get is a better specification language (which you can write as comments in python). Learn the Eiffel design way and then add assert statements whereever you need them. Works well when i do C/C++ programming and maybe even for script languages - but i never used it for scripts as i don't see a real value here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
