Alright, so I've been following some of the arguments about enhancing

still are. It seems like what we really need is a more pythonic

You can't get a dictionary ordered by values, but you can get a list of
key-value pairs ordered by value:
def sortByValue(myDict):
x = sorted( [(v,k) for k,v in myDict.items()] )
return [(k,v) for v,k in x]
For getting only the first two pairs:
sortByValue(x)[:2]

Oh, I see what you mean. From my experience, the methods are passed
down, not referred to from the parent. That is, Parent does have its
own critique method, not a reference to Grand_parent.critique(). So
when Child calls self.advise, it is calling its inherrited copy. Then,
since the inherited Chi
