PEP 245 - Python Interface Syntax - Pelletier Jim Fulton has said that this PEP was premature. I agree. It introduces a new keyword, 'interface', and I'm not yet convinced that that is needed.

In all previous version of Python, names were resolved in exactly three namespaces -- the local namespace, the global namespace, and the builtin namespace. According to this old definition, if a function A is defined within a function B, the names bo...
