i would still like to understand how object proxying (e.g., weakrefs, RPyC), could work when all/most frameworks/libraries would be based on ABCs.

I don't think that's what is being proposed, if I understand Guido's response to my post. There is no expectation that all/most (or even many!) libraries would be based on ABCs. Duck typing would remain the norm. Although I'm not clear what the value of all this is, if the resulting ABCs don't get used in real code.

But it's likely that this is a failure in my understanding, rather than the sign of a deep and complex plot to turn Python into Java while I'm not watching :-) So I'm going to continue reading, and wait for enlightenment.
