But there is not such a thing, in Python. What you have is that A
has the same attributes/methods of B plus its own.
What you could do is adding in class A a method like this:
class A(B):
...
def set_b_attributes(self, instance_of_b):
for k, value in instance_of_b.__dict__:
setattr(self, k, value )
and the use it like this:
a1.set_b_attributes(b1)
Of course, if b attributes are few and always the same it is more
readable assigning them explicitely:
def set_b_attributes(self, instance_of_b):
self.attr1 = instance_of_b.attr1
self.attr2 = instance_of_b.attr2
....
