For maybe 80-90% of the purposes that I originally created PyProtocols for, I have found that "simplegeneric" ( http:// cheeseshop.python.org/simplegeneric/ ) is more than adequate -- and it's only 80 lines of code. Guido's more featureful GF prototype isn't that much bigger, I don't believe - heck, it might be smaller if memory serves.

Interesting. Maybe one of the problems here is that we're trying to
solve different problems. For me one of the most important aspects
of interfaces is the documentation it gives to people wanting to
implement alternatives or plugins. Yes, there are other ways to do
it, but interfaces seems to strike a good balance documentation-in- the-code and discoverability.
