[Python-Dev] ABC issues (original) (raw)

If you want to use the 3.0 mixins in 2.6, perhaps an alternate set of APIs could be imported from the future? E.g. from futurecollections import Mapping. IIRC a similar mechanism was proposed for some built-in functions, even though I see no traces of an implementation yet.

Any know what happened to the effort to put the 3.0 dict in future_builtins?

That would nicely sync-up the ABC with a concrete implementation and bring 2.6 a little closer to 3.0.
