The golden rule is if the child is not a kind-of the parent then it should be delegation not inheritance. Never use inheritance as a mechanism for construction, its for specializing types. Another anti-pattern to look out for is if you are adding a lot of new methods rather than overriding inherited methods there's a good chance you are going the wrong way. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
