This wont work I think since if add antoher Class:

class WriteStruct():

   def func1(self);
     print "Hello2"

   def Generate(self):
      self.func1()

class WriteStruct2(WriteStruct):

   def func1(self);
     print "Hello"

   def Generate(self):
      self.func1()

Den if Lang1, inherit both WriteStruct and WriteStruct2 I will
get name clashes.

In my real code I have very big Generate Method in WriteStruct that
calls submethods.
and thes submethods should be overriden by the subclasses. So I cant
change the name
on the submethods.
