The package exports two objects, `Interface` and `Attribute` directly. It also exports several helper methods. Interface is used to create an interface with a class statement, as in: class IMyInterface(Interface): '''Interface documentation ''' def meth(arg1, arg2): '''Documentation for meth ''' # Note that there is no self argument To find out what you can do with interfaces, see the interface interface, `IInterface` in the `interfaces` module. The package has several public modules: o `declarations` provides utilities to declare interfaces on objects. It also provides a wide range of helpful utilities that aid in managing declared interfaces. Most of its public names are however imported here. o `document` has a utility for documenting an interface as structured text. o `exceptions` has the interface-defined exceptions o `interfaces` contains a list of all public interfaces for this package. o `verify` has utilities for verifying implementations of interfaces. See the module doc strings for more information.
