# Sorry the last message is truncated because of an "accident" /the exact syntax isn't really important/ /abstract type and implementation separation is the important point/ Actually, if I want to force it, that syntax could work using the same magic used by event-based systems: registration. Although I agree it might be a bit cumbersome to do registration for something like this, but as I've said before, exact syntax is not really important. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
