What is zope.interface?

This package is crafted for independent utilization across any Python application and is supported by the Zope Toolkit initiative. It functions as a realization of "object interfaces" within the Python landscape. Interfaces serve as a mechanism to signify that objects comply with a specific API or contract, thereby showcasing this package as a practical instance of employing the Design By Contract approach in Python programming. In essence, interfaces represent objects that elucidate (document) the anticipated external conduct of the objects that implement them. An interface defines behavior through a mix of informal documentation contained in a docstring, attribute definitions, and invariants, which are the essential conditions that must be met by the objects that implement the interface. Attribute definitions outline specific attributes, detailing their names while providing documentation and constraints related to the permissible values for those attributes. These definitions can be expressed in various formats, allowing for a degree of flexibility in their presentation. Moreover, by enabling the definition of interfaces, the code's clarity and dependability are significantly improved, ensuring that objects adhere to designated behaviors. This structured approach not only fosters better software design but also aids in maintaining consistency across different implementations.
