In Zope programming, for example, "parent" invariably means neither the superclass nor a factory for the object, but rather the container object holding the object (like a file in a directory). This follows the conventional language for talking about filesystem directory trees, of course. Just to make sure you're really confused. But if you're converting PHP to Python, it seems likely that you will one day encounter Zope. My impression is that people do things in PHP that are ordinarily split between templates (ZPT or DTML) and Python "scripts" in Zope. Of course, there are a dozen other ways to do web-programming in Python, too.
