I pushed another version with support for IID references, so you can refer to 
implementations in annotations. The ultimate point of this is to give registry 
queries the ability to check for implementations with particular features:

@visage.lib.implementation('foo')
class Imp(object):
 def meth(self) - visage.lib.reference('bar'):
  ...

Imp.meth making a statement that a 'bar' implementation will be returned.

That is, consider code that is not aware of the modules that Imp is stored in 
but wants a 'foo' implementation whose meth method returns a 'bar' instance. 
Registry queries pave the way for supporting IID based implementation 
resolution. There is also the potential that registry information could be 
extracted on package installation for the purpose of an implementation index. 
Implementations could be imported on demand by modules that have no knowledge 
of the implementation.

I've been working with Plone for the past year and have become a big
fan of interfaces. I must admit I _do_ like zope.interface's
adaptation, but your's looks lighter in a way that could be handy for
a side project, so I may have some more concrete feedback soon :)

BTW I think if you rename the ReStructured Text docs to .rst github
will automatically render them.

Did not know that. Gonna go do a lot of git mv's now.

Thanks.

Do *one* and see if github actually does render it. Then do the rest.

Did it for one project. It does render it. =)

Naturally, sphinx autodoc links don't work. =( Come-on github, use dat fundin'

ANN: visage (interfaces)

2012-07-29 Thread jwp
Hi,

I just pushed this up to pypi/github, and I hoped to acquire some c.l.py 
opinions.
It's experimental at this point, and might get scrapped.

visage is a loosely coupled interface registry. weakrefs make it cake to 
implement.

Basically, zope.interface, but where the interfaces are referenced by an 
identifier instead of the defining Interface class. Also, ABC registration is 
performed when the Interface becomes available so that isinstance/issubclass 
checks can be performed on Implementation instances/classes.

FWICT, pyprotocols allows for something like this, but while introducing many 
interesting concepts. (;

Currently, visage has no concept of adaption, but I'm suspecting that it could 
be built *on top* of the existing foundation.

Personally, I'd prefer to reference interfaces by an identifier. Notably, the 
idea of having to pull in a dependency in order to perform local tests that 
have no need for the formal Interface class is reason enough for me to use 
something like this instead of the existing solutions. Sure, to each their own.?

What's c.l.py's perspective on managing interfaces and implementations?

Fuck it, ship it? =)
