What does a class name in another class parameter list means in Python?

Question

I'm trying to read and understand a program source code written in Python and I got confuse with one thing that appeared in some places in the source code:

class Class1(ClassA):

This code snippet is repeated in the source code of a .py file, in a way that only "Class1" vary ("class Class1(ClassA):", "class Class2(ClassA):", "class Class3(ClassA):", etc.).

Sorry, but I can't share the source code with you guys, it's part of my friends term paper.

I appreciate any explanation, thanks!

If you want to know how a given statement or expression works, the docs have a full explanation. It's not a parameter list, it's the base classes for the class. — Gareth Latty

This syntax means that Class1 inherits from ClassA.

For further information, see the tutorial.
