Sure, just import the correct template module conditionally and give it a new name: if site == 'siteA': import SiteA as Super else import SiteB as Super class A(Super.A): etc. If you need to do the import based on a string use the __import__() function: http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html > The problem is that the template classes are not self contained, i.e. > SiteB.Gallery inherits from SiteB.List, SiteB.Base etc.> > Thanks in advance, I don't see why that is a problem?
