Certainly, although now I think you're splitting hairs over my terminology. Let's synchronize our wording with a point made in the Python docs. Section 2.1 of the Library Reference recommends that the builtin function isinstance() be used for testing the object type. Does this then mean that "type" refers to the class of an object? In which case, wouldn't "interface" refer to a collection of methods, that when present in a class create an implementation? Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
