It doesn't matter at all, as long as 'a' is a valid class name. This
works too:
import x
class Classname(x.A):
do stuff
It's common to start classnames with a captial letter.

It needs to be imported first:
class1.py:
class Class1(object):
pass
class2.py:
import class1
class Class2(class1.Class1):
pass

Nope. At least, not that I'm aware of.

def function(a, b, c=None):
do things, do other things if c is not None.
