How many of these codes do you need, and do they only need to be decrypted

"x=42" is an assignment statement, not an expression.
In "bool(x=5)", "x=5" is also not an expression. It's passing the

On line 14, is it intentional that attributes whose values happen to
be false are not considered as conflicts?
On line 31, this code:
thing = getattr(thing, '__func__', None) or thing
could be simplified to this:
thing = getattr(thing, &#x
wargs.
Theoretically this would break if you had two mixins accepting the
same argument, but I can't think of an actual case where that might
happen.

we later decide to add mixin_arg3, then we have to
also add it to the Derived1.__init__ signature and then add a line to
set the attribute. In the latter case, adding mixin_arg3 has no
effect on the Derived2 initializer at all, because it passes through
transparently in the kwargs.
Cheers,
Ian

Which is hell for the running time, but doesn't answer the quest

The latter is the syntax of the raise statement: up to 3 expressions,
separated by commas.
The former has a single
