Hi all, i was writing a function to determine the common base class of a number classes:
def common_base(classes): if not len(classes): return None common = set(classes.pop().mro()) for cls in classes: common.intersection_update(cls.mro()) while len(common) > 1: cls1 = common.pop() cls2 = common.pop() if issubclass(cls1, cls2): common.add(cls1) elif issubclass(cls2, cls1): common.add(cls2) return common.pop() and ran common_base(int, float), hoping to get numbers.Number. this did not work because abstract base classes are not always in the mro() of classes. My question is: is there a way to obtain the abc's of a class or otherwise a way to make the function above take abc's into account (maybe via a predefined function)?
