This cannot be something you can rely on.  I can define Python classes
that have identical Python source code and superclasses, yet are
totally different.  For example,

    class A(object): pass
    A.foo = 42
    A1 = A
    class A(object): pass
    A.foo = 43
    A2 = A

So no, there is no way at all to make this idea work in general; you
can only do hacks that hopefully don't break too often.  I am not
interested :-)


A bientôt,

Armin.
