Python 2.6 adds an :mod:`abc` module that lets you define Abstract Base Classes
(ABCs). You can then use :func:`isinstance` and :func:`issubclass` to check
whether an instance or a class implements a particular ABC. The
-:mod:`collections` modules defines a set of useful ABCs such as

For Python, many of the advantages of interface specifications can be obtained
:func:`execfile` with the name of your file as argument.
Also note that you can not mix-and-match Debug and Release versions. If you
