But not all base classes that it inherits from, e.g.,
>>> class C(object): pass
...
>>> class B1(C): pass
...
>>> class B2(C): pass
...
>>> class A(B1, B2): pass
...
>>> obj = A()
>>> obj.__class__.__name__
'A'
>>> obj.__class__.__bases__
(<class '__main__.B1'>, <class '__main__.B2'>)
>>> type(obj)
<class '__main__.A'>
>>> type(obj).mro()
[<class '__main__.A'>, <class '__main__.B1'>, <class '__main__.B2'>, <class
'__main__.C'>, <type 'object'>]
>>> tuple(x.__name__ for x in type(obj).mro())
('A', 'B1', 'B2', 'C', 'object')
