what about __init__? you can't call A.__init__ and B.__init__ explicitly from C.__init__, because then both of them will call object.__init__ [maybe this is fine for object, but it isn't fine if you've got another class there that A and B inherit from] It's hard enough to make signatures that this can be safely done with even *with* the mro, but the problem would be downright intractable without it. _______________________________________________ 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/VK4X5UAZHAW575AQ5M4Q3B6J3PS7ZIIL/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
