You keep saying this, but I'm still confused: how is that different
from the very normal behaviour of overriding a method? What makes one
of them a critical feature of inheritance, and the other a conflict
that has to be resolved?
How do you distinguish conflicts from overrides?
My best understanding so far is that you're doing something like:
class Pizza(Crust, Topping): ...
and then you could have a conflict like this:
class StuffedCrust(Crust):
def add_cheese(self): ...
class ThreeCheeseTopping(Topping):
def add_cheese(self): ...
which would result in an error when you try to build this pizza:
class AllTheCheese(StuffedCrust, ThreeCheeseTopping): ...
But the problem with this example is that it's using Crust and Topping
as superclasses when they're really not. This would be MUCH better
served by something like:
class Pizza:
def __init__(self, Crust, Topping):
self.crust = Crust()
self.topping = Topping()
And now you don't have a conflict.
Please, if this is NOT what you're talking about, can you show us an
actual example? Far too many toy examples that don't explain the
problem, no realistic (or at least semi-realistic) examples that
explain the underlying intention.
