When you're drawing this sort of diagram then what references are held by an object are more important than what interfaces it implements. Personally I think it's a bit silly to insist on a diagram model where a box with an arrow in it pointing at an int object can't be represented by a box with an integer in it (where 'int' is any immutable type - string, tuple, even range), but people don't like boxes with integers in them for some reason. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
