Banach's contraction principle guarantees the existence of a unique fixed point for any contractive selfmapping of a complete metric space. This paper considers generalizations of the completeness of the space and of the contractiveness of the mapping and shows that some recent extensions of Banach's theorem carry over to spaces whose topologies are generated by families of quasi-pseudometrics.
