In this note, a brief and accessible proof is given of an extension of the Pták homomorphism theorem to a larger class of spaces—spaces that are not necessarily assumed to be locally convex. This is done by first proving a counterpart of the Bourbaki-Grothendieck homomophism theorem for the non-locally-convex case. Our presentation utilizes the simplifying properties of seminorms.
