v8.0.0
Version 8.0 is not backwards compatible with version 7.x.
The way concrete types are created has changed to be in line with typing.Protocol
. This also made writing a mypy plugin easier (maybe even possible).
As per Protocol
s, a class now has to directly inherit from Interface
to be considered an interface type, this was not the case in previous versions.
This also removes the annoying idiom of concrete classes being created with object
in the bases list.
Given
class MyInterface(Interface):
...
in version 7.x and earlier
class SubInterface(MyInterface):
...
class Concrete(MyInterface, object):
....
however in version 8.0
class SubInterface(MyInterface, Interface):
...
class Concrete(MyInterface):
....
To assist in migrating existing code a simple script for listing interface classes is attached.
Other changes:
- Removed
allow_implicit
parameter to provided_by (it was pointless). - Removed
pure_interface.dataclass
decorator in favour of supporting decorator from standard library. - Added mypy plugin.
