Python 3 will have optional 'type' annotations, where 'type' includes abstract base classes defined by the interface (methods). So parameters could be annotated as a Number or Sequence, for instance, which is more useful often than any particular concrete type. I strongly suspect that someone will use the annotations for compilation, which others will use them just for documentation and whatever else. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
