That's been in plain view for years: DC's CTO (Jim Fulton) did the first prototype interface implementation the first time the Python Types SIG went around. I gather it's been, off & on, a hot topic at DC ever since. > (Do new Guido's employers have a lot of say in the situation? I can > speculate that they do... but then again I don't know for sure.) Since Zope is the best example of a large production Python application Guido is close to, things that do and don't work for Zope in practice have *always* carried a lot of weight. For example, that's where extension classes and pickles came from; OTOH, DC's was the loudest voice against switching from string-based to class-based exceptions, and they "lost" that one. You misjudge if you think DC's backing alone is enough to sell something, ditto if you think DC's backing will (or should) cause Guido to bend over backwards to avoid the appearance of undue influence. He doesn't think that way! He's a true geek; political ploys and implications whiz right by him, pro or con. So far, I bet Guido hasn't even read the relevant PEPs. > One thing still bothers me -- Perl people will have a real reason to > laugh.
