Studying OOP and noticed that Python does not have Interfaces. Is
that correct? Is my schooling for nought on these OOP concepts if I
use Python. Am I losing something if I don't use the "typical" oop
constructs found in other languages (Java, C# come to mind.) I'm
afraid that if I never use them I'll lose them and when I need them
for something beside Python, I'll be lost. Thank you.
You're not missing anything. An Interface is the Poor Man's Multiple
Inheritance. But in truth, even without multiple inheritance, Python
wouldn't need java-like interfaces.
Interfaces are a great concept for many things, and they can cover a few
soft spots in Python.
There is the possibility of using the great zope.interface library
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface. Just use:
"easy_install zope.interface"
And you have interfaces.
