So mixins are just a sub-class [pun intended] of sub-classing?
I've just found this:

A mixin class is a parent class that is inherited from - but not as
a means of specialization. Typically, the mixin will export services to a
child class, but no semantics will be implied about the
I added some recipes to the Python Cookbook:
- listmixin
Use ListMixin to create custom list classes from a small subset of
list methods:

Improves on timeit by allowing you to time a function directly
Nifty, Tim Peters responded to my e-mail. I must've said something

Hi again,
Since my linear algebra library appears not to serve any practical
need (I found cgkit, and that works better for me), I've gotten bored
and went back to one of my other projects: reimplementing the Python
builtin classes list(), set(), dict(), and frozenset() with balanced

So my suggestions:
In cases like these ones:
random_matrix(m, n=-1)
zero_matrix(m, n=-1)
.. I think it's better to set the default value to None
