I'd like to understand if multiple inheritance is allowed in Python 2.7 from a class whose parent is not an object ?
Ref:TypeError in Python single inheritance with "super" attribute do provide some examples but I'd like to use super(Subclass, self) differently as below
Animal --> Mammal --> CannoFly & CannotSwim --> Dog
So Dog class inherits from CannotFly and CannotSwim classes. Each of the CannotFly and CannotSwim class inherits from Mammal which inherit from Animal classes
class Animal: def __init__(self, animalName): print(animalName, 'is an animal.'); # Mammal inherits Animal class Mammal(Animal): def __init__(self, mammalName): print(mammalName, 'is a mammal.') super(Mammal,self).__init__(mammalName) # CannotFly inherits Mammal class CannotFly(Mammal): def __init__(self, mammalThatCantFly): print(mammalThatCantFly, "cannot fly.") super(CannotFly,self).__init__(mammalThatCantFly) # CannotSwim inherits Mammal class CannotSwim(Mammal): def __init__(self, mammalThatCantSwim): print(mammalThatCantSwim, "cannot swim.") super(CannotSwim,self).__init__(mammalThatCantSwim) # Dog inherits CannotSwim and CannotFly class Dog(CannotSwim, CannotFly): def __init__(self,arg): print("I am a barking dog") super(Dog, self).__init__(arg) # Driver code Dog1 = Dog('Bark') When I run it I get the error "TypeError: must be type, not classobj" which is because the CanotSwim() & CannotFly() classes are derived from Mammal which is not the base class but inheriting from Animal class. If that was not the case, then the Super(Subclass, self) works perfectly.
