What about something like: class A(object): def my_method(self): print "A.my_method" def call_my_method(self): if type(self).my_method == A.my_method: print "Calling base class method." else: print "Calling derived class method." self.my_method() class B(A): pass
class C(A): def my_method(self): print "C.my_method" a = A() b = B() c = C() a.call_my_method() b.call_my_method() c.call_my_method() Stéphane -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
