Suppose that I want to write a subclass C of base classes A and B.
What considerations should go into choosing the ordering of A and
B in C's base class list?
Since any order one chooses can be overridden on a per-method basis,
by assigning the desired parent's method to the appropriate class
attribute, like this:
class C(B, A)
# override methods spam, ham, and eggs from B
spam = A.spam;
ham = A.ham;
eggs = A.eggs;
...
...it is difficult for me to see a strong compelling reason for picking
an ordering over another. But may be just ignorance on my part.
How should one go about deciding the ordering of base classes?
TIA!
