Multiple inheritance introduces a potential wrinkle in my definition
of the unbound instance. The problem is that search starts one level
too high. That is in:
class foo(b1, b2):
def __repr__(self):
super = b1._ #this one
super = b2._ #or this one?
return super.__repr__(self)
we dont know which base class to choose as the starting point for the
search. This problem already exist. Now, if we want to avoid it,
this:
class foo(b1, b2):
def __repr__(self):
super = foo.__super__
return super.__repr__(self)
comes to mind.
