Lettuce makes the development and testing process really easy, scalable, readable and - what is best - it allows someone who doesn’t program to describe the behavior of a certain system, without imagining those descriptions will automatically test the system during its development.

Components and Interfaces

Zope Components -> https://docs.zope.org/zope2/zdgbook/ComponentsAndInterfaces.html

... Components are objects that are associated with interfaces. An interface is a Python object that describes how you work with other Python objects ...

https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/components.html

Object oriented programming languages allow programmers to reuse portions of existing code by creating new “classes” of objects which subclass another class. When a class subclasses another, it is said to inherit all of its behaviour. The subclass can then “override” and “extend” the behavior provided to it by the superclass.

Inheritance is very useful in many situations, but because it is so convenient to use, often becomes abused in large software systems, especially when multiple inheritance is involved. One solution is to use delegation instead of “inheritance” where appropriate. Delegation is simply the act of asking another object to perform a task for an object.

To support this design pattern, which is often referred to as the components pattern because it involves many small interacting components, interfaces and adapters were created by the Zope 3 team.

... Zope Component Architecture (ZCA) is a Python framework for supporting component based design and programming. It is very well suited to developing large Python software systems. The ZCA is not specific to the Zope web application server: it can be used for developing any Python application. Maybe it should be called as Python Component Architecture.

The ZCA is all about using Python objects effectively. Components are reusable objects with introspectable interfaces. An interface is an object that describes how you work with a particular component. In other words, component provides an interface implemented in a class, or any other callable object. It doesn't matter how the component is implemented, the important part is that it comply with its interface contracts.

Using ZCA, you can spread the complexity of systems over multiple cooperating components. It helps you to create two basic kinds of components: adapter and utility.

There are three core packages related to the ZCA:

zope.interface is used to define the interface of a component.

zope.event provides a simple event system.

zope.component deals with creation, registration and retrieval of components.

Python On MacOSX

Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X is in principle very similar to Python on any other Unix platform, but there are a number of additional features such as the IDE and the Package Manager that are worth pointing out.
