I wanted to thank you Michele for for supplying this very informative 
link (and your work on the piece).

I'm just getting into Python and have been "lurking" on this list.  I 
have not yet gotten into a real world problem that involved nontrivial 
MRO, but recognized (as in intuitive suspicion) that such could be a 
concern in a complex class pattern design.  One of those things that 
keeps nagging when addressing other issues.  Now I can compartmentalize 
it and make better progress :~)

Thanks again,
Lee C
