Hello,

I'm testing Python's class abstractness and inheritance. Since interface doesn't exist, I will like to test how to have access to a superclass method from a subclass without necessary
invoking or overriding the superclass method in its subclass.

>>> class Equipment(object):
...     def fault():
...             return "fault"
...
>>> Equipment().__class__
<class '__main__.Equipment'>
>>> class Vehicle(Equipment):
...      # Find out here if Vehicle has access to fault

I want to know whether Vehicle has access to Equipment's fault() method.
Just want to know if it's there(that a vehicle can also develop a fault).

I know I can override it, but I want to know if I can use it directly without overriding it.

Perhaps this helps:
