questions regarding this sig:

1) Is there an issue in publishing a module of abstract classes to adhere to ?

2) Why stop at the docs for python if we can publish self documented base classes as well?
I have looked frantically for a dbapi.py and all I have found are disparate c modules that d
on't have parent class interfaces.
If such an animal exists, I would love a pointer.  I would gladly step out of this discussio
n and into one about improving such a module.

3) Java has a comfortable "Interface/Impl" flavor of libraries, why is the db-api an etherea
l specification of convention rather than an entry point in code interface?
