Compare their __mro__ members if they are new-style. The depth-first search for the member you're looking for is straightforward in Python, even if maybe not immediately obvious. If not, we can try a settrace and a search for when they are defined, and build an __mro__ manually. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
