What about using ABCs here instead ? The big advantage is that you don't force people to subclass your Plugin base class, and you get a registration mechanism for free. They would be able to explicitly register any class using : from unittest2.events import Plugin Plugin.register(MySuperPlugin) Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
