Okay, I've thought somewhat. Under the definition above would it be
fair to say that Db3Table (a class in my dbf module) is a boundary
type? It sits between the actual file and the program, and transforms
bytes into actual Python types.
Yes. That is exactly what a boundary type is. It doesn't matter whether
it is a file format or a wire protocol format on the non-Python side,
the sequence of bytes is defined, using methods that are not directly
corresponding to python data types (if they do correspond, the boundary
type is trivial).
