every Python object surely qualifies as a component, for any non-myopic definition of that word, and everything inside a Python program is an object. so yes, Python has a component model, and Python programmers are using that model all over the place. what might be missing is support for publishing additional metadata using a standardized vocabulary, and a way to access that data with- out having to actually create the object. implementing this using existing mechanisms is trivial (as the endless stream of interface/component/adapter/trait implementations have shown us); coming up with a good-enough-to-be-useful-for-enough-people vocabulary is a lot harder. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
