you cold use someething like a plugin, but then the interface and
implementation is not really seperated:


    class GeneralAssembler:

	  def __init__(self, algorithmclass):
	      self.algorithmclass = algorithmclass
	  def run(self, data):
	      # do something with self.algorithmclass and data
	      # maybe self.algorithmclass.calculate(data) ...


    class Algorithm1:

	  def calculate(data):
	      ...


    class Algorithm2:

	  def calculate(data):
	      ...
     

now you can use 

    myassembler=GeneralAssembler(Algorithm1())
    myassembler.run(data)

o.k. ?

Greetings, Uwe
