This makes it even worse.
I don't quite follow you here. It sounds like you are saying that if you have these classes: # pre-existing classes class A(object): pass class B(object): pass # your class class C(A, B): pass and somebody subclasses A or B, the MRO of C will change. That is not actually the case as far as I can see. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
