Can i mask the parent attibutes in the child. let me give a quick example.

In [1]: class a:
    ...:     value1 = 1
    ...:     value2 = 2
    ...:

In [2]: class b(a):
    ...:     value3 = 3
    ...:


Note that these are class variables and not instance
variables.


In [3]: obj1 = b()

In [4]: obj1.value1
Out[4]: 1

In [6]: obj1.value3
Out[6]: 3

If you notice in the below example you will see that the child class
object ``obj1`` has inherited all the attibutes of the parent class.

Yes that's what inheritance means.

there a way by which i can make the child class not inherit some of the
properites of parent class.

No.
But you can change the inherited values by masking them with your local versions, which could be None.

class c(a):
   value1 = None

obj2 = c()
print(obj2.value1)  -> None
