 No.

But why do yo care?  You can just ignore the 5 you don't want -- their
existence costs you nothing in either memory or execution speed.

You can also redefine the ones you don't want inherited:

class A:
    def DontInheritMe(self, ...):
       ...

Class B(A):
    def DontInheritMe(self, ...):
       raise NotImplementedError // Or some such
