Inheritance is not the main tool for sharing code. Just make it a
function and place it in one of your modules (files):
def get_host():
"""Return the environment's $HTTP_HOST if
it exists, otherwise $SERVER_NAME or (if that
doesn't exist either) None.
"""
...
Perhaps you are focusing too much on inheritance in general.
I personally almost never use it in Python -- it has much fewer
uses here than in staticaly typed languages.
