Python is ways cooler than C++. This is a sensible use case where you
may
want to change the base class at runtime:
>>> class Base(object):
... pass
>>> class BasePlusDebugMethods(Base):
... pass
...
>>> class C(Base):
... pass
>>> C.__bases__ = (BasePlusDebugMethods,)
>>> C.mro()
[<class '__main__.C'>,
<class '__main__.BasePlusDebugMethods'>,
<class '__main__.Base'>,
<type 'object'>]
(i.e. in a running program with a problem you can add debug methods and
possibily
even fix the problem without restarting the program).
