How about an Interface metaclass that replaces any class methods with an
appropriate exception-raiser.  It would save a little typing, e.g.

   class IEditor():
      __metaclass__ = Interface
      def GetSelection(self, start, end): pass
      def SetSelection(self, start, end, data): pass

...and so on.
