[Zope3-dev] what is schema package status?

You can use a metaclass to solve it, if you're allowed to use metaclasses.
In Zope 3, we're not allowed to insist that 3rd party code uses a 
particular metaclass.

There is no reference to schema in there.

I was refering to the question in src/zope/schema/readme.stx:

   Shouldn't the implements function on the interface package
   be renamed getImplements?

I expect the whole API to the interfaces package will be rethought soon, 
as it is a bit of a mess right now.


Note that the question in src/zope/schema/readme.stx about whether 
schema and interfaces should be merged is obselete, as it was written 
when the interfaces package was still in lib/python/Interface.

Now, both zope.schema and zope.interface are under the 'zope' package.
