Could you write a more expressive example of what you are trying to do and what
the problem actually is?
The way you wrote the above doesn’t contain any clues why usual subclassing is
not appropriate.
By attributes you mean value attributes or methods? Why going the usual route
of subclassing & controlling their behaviour via constructor arguments isn’t
working?

I don’t get what you mean by this either. Very hard to follow everything that
went after, given I was lost at this point.
Maybe it’s only me... But I if you clarified these, I might be able to help a
bit.
