---------------

    Let's take a look at this step by step.  Here, you see two Python class
    statements.  The first statement creates the *interface*, and the
    second statement creates the *implementation*.

      % Anonymous User - Dec. 12, 2001 2:57 pm - Not comment really, but question.   Where I find the Interface module. I can't with myself. Not at my filesystem nor at my ZOPE. I'd  like to do practice also with this tutorial.

      % Anonymous User - Dec. 13, 2001 10:18 am - {ZOPEHOME}/lib/python/Interface

      % jshell - Jan. 24, 2002 12:56 pm - This should all be updated to reflect where interfaces are going for Zope 3.  First, the interface should be named "IHello", and there should be no 'self' in the signature for the 'hello()' method.

       Where can I find more info regarding Zope 3? I realize that it is a work-in-progress.

       Get rid of the 'self' param/sig?.., yeh! This is one thing I've found distasteful in my wonderings/wanderings
       thru zope. Now lets consider the double underscores. Javascript seems more elegant/simple and widespread, imo
       - it WILL be on the client...why learn both? I'd use zope 'for real' if that were the case.

       The reason for 'self' is so that one can distinguish between class and instance
       methods in Python.  Unlike Java, Python does not have a 'static' keyword to
       describe class methods.
