Correct. AFAIK, there is only one other competing, mature package
(but please correct me if I'm wrong!): PyProtocols. My impression is
that the latter is essentially a superset of the former and that the
latter is compatible with the former.
The question then becomes whether we really want to invent a third
way of doing interfaces in Python, or whether our time is better
spent selecting and promoting one of the existing, tried-and-true
packages. Perhaps it would be better for us to figure out how and if
the two packages can be integrated. If a third way is still
advocated, then I think it must have a fairly high barrier to
acceptance in order to push aside such long accepted libraries.
