A decade ago, Michele Simionato wrote an excellent, highly detailed series of blog posts about super, multiple inheritance, mixins and traits. A good starting point is this post: https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=246488 Traits are a more restrictive (and therefore safer) version of mixins, which are in turn a more restrictive (and therefore safer) version of multiple inheritance. See Michele's blog posts for more detail. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/6X4NMO6A24C3SS2QNTKHL2CTFAOWUO2H/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
