It is a great example of a style of using mixins, but isn't actually an example of Python's cooperative multiple inheritance. The code doesn't use super() and doesn't have a diamond problem. It's hard to write a best practices document for super() when the doesn't appear to be any practice at all :-) Raymond -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
