I'm not so sure that it is, tbh. If you read it like an English sentence, it's clearly testing whether Foo matches the template in IFoo, but which are you more likely to do: test one class to see if it satisfies lots of templates, or test one template against every class you meet? I think probably the latter is, if not more likely than the former, at least sufficiently plausible as to create confusion. It makes very good sense to say: duckmatch(IFoo).compare(Foo) ie with the arguments the other way. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
