Yeah, that'll work too :-) Or even
def makeAB(moduleContainingSuperClass):
class A(moduleContainingSuperClass.A):
pass
class B(moduleContainingSuperClass.B)
pass
return A, B
A, B = makeAB(siteA)

Trickery? ;) It's just using modules as first-class objects that are bound to
names same as anything else. Which solution is better depends on whether you
want to choose at the module level or with finer control.
