Hi all,

I am wondering if there is any work on contracts for Python. I could
only find PEP316, however, I am wondering if there is any official
support for it already (tools I mean), and if it is or if it will be
officially supported in any of the next releases of Python.

No, it's not officially supported and there are currently no plans to
support it, though as PEP 316 is Deferred and not Rejected, it's
theoretically possible that it could be Accepted and added to the
language some day.
At any rate, there are several third-party libraries available that
allow you to use Design by Contract in Python, albeit without
language-level support.
See http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aactio...&submit=search
for a list

Cheers,
Chris
