How do Java interfaces translate to Python?

[Miki Tebeka]

Hello Gordon,

If you look at interface as forcing some class to impelement a set of
methods then you can
do something like:

class SomeInterface:
    def f1(self):
        raise NotImplementedError
    def f2(self, arg1, arg2):
        raise NotImplementedError

And then every subclass of it must implement all the functions.

HTH.
