(Changing the subject) > The big question is rather: given that Isub inherits from Isuper, > does any object implementing Isub also implicitly implement Isuper? This probably shows my naivete more than anything else... I'd say "of course", based on an example where Isuper is FileOpenForReading and Isub is FileOpenForReadingAndWriting. It would be strange if a file open for reading and writing was not acceptable in a place where a file open for reading is accepted (because it implements all the right methods). Or is the fact that it implements *more* the problem? Am I missing something? I also thought that there's a different dimension of interface inheritance: if class C implements interface I, and class D derives from class C, does D implicitly implement I also? Again, I'd say yes. But I believe Jim Fulton disagrees with me. And again, I haven't tried to use interfaces enough to understand what problems you could get into by this assumption. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
