Thanks guys!
The class I'm creating is inheriting from classes I did not create. And of
course the inherited classes are from different authors. So I'm attempting to
create a wrapper and the problem comes from the keyboard events. Each of the
classes has a onKeyDown method and I only want one to work and then pass the
data to the second.
But you have helped (along with the links). And I have successfully got the
right method called. The issue is now getting the second (B) to fire
correctly.

myinstance.onKeyDown()
Please see
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html#multiple-inheritance. This
references http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.3/mro/ Having read
these why not try typing code into the interactive prompt and see what
happens? Worst case you get an exception, if you don't understand it
cut and paste it to a reply to this and we'll help out.
Second to insure the right one is called is it possible to do the following
NewClass(object):
def onKeyDown(self, event):
b.onKeyDown(event)
It's B.onKeyDown(self, event), without the self you'll get an unbound
method error.

Hi John,
Easy enough to sort out with a little experiment:
>>> class A(object):
def doit(self):
print "A"
>>> class B(object):
def doit(self):
print "B"
>>> class C(A,B):
def __init__(self):
self.doit()
>>> c=C()
A

Perhaps this helps, some:
>>> class D(A,B):
def __init__(self):
self.doit()
def doit(self):
print "D"
super(D, self).doit()
>>> d=D()
D
A
>>> class E(A,B):
def __init__(self):
B.doit(self)
>>> e=E()
B
>>>
Best,
Brian vdB

Hi,

If my "NewClass" does not contain something to override the methods which one
would be called if
myinstance = NewClass()
myinstance.onKeyDown()
This depends on whether classes A and B are designed for cooperative multiple
inheritance or not.
The short answer is, A.onKeyDown will be called, because A is listed first.
The longer answer is, if A.onKeyDown uses super() to manager multiple
inheritance, both A and B.onKeyDown may be called.
Here is an example with no cooperative multiple inheritance:
class A(object):
def onKeyDown(self):
print('A deals with keydown event')
class B(object):
def onKeyDown(self):
print('B deals with keydown event')
class NewClass(A, B):
pass
And in use, you will see that A blocks B:
py> instance = NewClass()
py> instance.onKeyDown()
A deals with keydown event
And here is a second example using super() for cooperative multiple inheritance:
class A(object):
def onKeyDown(self):
print('A deals with keydown event')
super(A, self).onKeyDown()
# in Python 3, you can just use "super().onKeyDown()"
class B(object):
def onKeyDown(self):
print('B deals with keydown event')
# B does not call super(), because there are no
# further parent classes to call.
class NewClass(A, B):
pass
And in use:
py> instance = NewClass()
py> instance.onKeyDown()
A deals with keydown event
B deals with keydown event
Second to insure the right one is called is it possible to do the following
NewClass(object):
def onKeyDown(self, event):
b.onKeyDown(event)
Yes, but that normally should not be necessary if you design your classes
carefully.

If I remember correctly, A.onKeyDown.
But things can get more complicated in other cases. See also the following post
for a read on the MRO (method resolution order); could help to clarify things
(or confuse you further):

What is b here? Are you (trying to) save(ing) a parent as a instance in the
class? Or should that be uppercase B?
The latter would work, I think, though you'll have to put `self` here
explicitly (since you're calling it without an instance, *and* you want to tell
the method the instance is NewClass() instead of eg B()):
def onKeyDown(self, event):
B.onKeyDown(self, event)

would be called if
myinstance = NewClass()
myinstance.onKeyDown()
