I am implementing a set of specifications that were designed to be OO language neutral.
Several classes are specified as being abstract; so therefore there should be no instances of them, correct? However in the classes that are subclasses what is the correct way in Python to implement them? I am using the zope.interface module as well. For example: class IA(Interface): m = Int() p = TextLine() class IB(Interface): x = Bool() s = Text() class A(object): """ This is an abstract class with attributes m is an int and p is a string""" implements(IA) pass class B(A): implements(IB) def __init__(self,m,p,x,s): m=m p=p x=x s=s or should it be like: class A(object): """ This is an abstract class with attributes m is an int and p is a string""" implements(IA) def __init__(self,m,p): m=m p=p class B(A): implements(IB) def __init__(self,m,p,x,s): A.__init__(m,p) x=x s=s or maybe even: class B(A): implements(IB) def __init__(self,m,p,x,s): super(A.__init__(m,p)) x=x s=s Thanks for any pointers.
