Yep. The 'self' passed to __finalize__ is still an instance of the
same class (e.g. BufferedWriter or MyWriter). So inheritance works
normally:
>>> class BufferedWriter(Finalized):
... __finalattrs__ = 'buffer', 'raw'
... def __init__(self):
... self.buffer = ''
... self.raw = 'raw'
... def flush(self):
... print 'writing:', self.buffer, 'to', self.raw
... self.buffer = ''
... def __finalize__(self):
... self.flush()
...
>>> class MyWriter(BufferedWriter):
... def flush(self):
... super(MyWriter, self).flush()
... print 'feel free to unplug the disk now'
...
>>> w = MyWriter()
>>> del w
writing: to raw
feel free to unplug the disk now

I'm not *in*-sane. Indeed, I am so far *out* of sane that you appear a
tiny blip on the distant coast of sanity.
