Hi, I recently started using Python and am extremely happy with how productive it's made me, even as a new user. I'm hoping to continue using the language for my research, and have come across a bit of a stumbling block.
I'm a seasoned Java programmer and quite a big fan of interfaces... i.e. The idea that if I make a number of distinct classes that implement interface X, I can pass them all as parameters to functions or whatnot that require an X object. Is there something similar in Python? What I'd like to do is create a feature detection system for my work -- specifically, a general class / interface called "Feature" and then subclasses that implement functions like isFeaturePresent() in all of their different and unique ways. I'd love to hear how I can do this in Python. Thanks, Wojciech -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
