I see that in most cases the order doesn't matter, but still I would think that since the correct order is from right to left, that should be the common practice.
This order is only "correct" if overriding is what you want. That's not always going to be the case. The mixin might be intended to supply default functionality that can be overridden by the classes it's being mixed into. You can't say that one order is more correct than the other in general. > Basically, I
think of the mixins like plugins of kinds, I'm "adding" functionality to that "base" class I'm inheriting from. Having them to the left sounds like a sandwich recipe that tells you to "slice the ham, put mayonnaise on it, and put it on the bread".
To me it's more like adding seasoning to a dish. Normally you put the main ingredient in first, then add the salt and pepper. This is probably the way most people are thinking when they write the mixins after the main base class. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
