I don't understand, Python already does it at runtime:
class A:
A_class_var = 1
class B(A):
B_class_var = 2
def __init__(self):
self.B_inst_var = 3
>>> b.A_class_var
1
>>> b.B_class_var
2
>>> b.B_inst_var
3
>>> A.another = 4
>>> b.another
4
Can you post a ">>>"-script of what you would like your classes to do?
