Thanks! >> class C1(C): >> >> standard_attributes = ['a1', 'a2'] > > DRY violation here. And a potential problem with inheritance (as always > with class attributes). Considering I had to look up what DRY meant before replying to this message, I may be missing your point. Is the repeat here that each subclass has to define its own list of standard attributes? Or, is it that the standard_attributes list holds strings, but I could build that list up by looking at my existing attributes? If you're feeling charitable, can you explain what you mean a little more?
