Inheritance but only partly?

I have never used something like this, but the OP may use a masking
class too:

class A(object):
    def m1(self): pass
    def m2(self): pass
    def m3(self): pass
    def m4(self): pass

class Mask(object):
    def m3(self): raise NotImplementedError
    def m4(self): raise NotImplementedError

class B(Mask, A):
    pass

a = A()
a.m1()
a.m2()
a.m3()
a.m4()

b = B()
b.m1()
b.m2()
b.m3() # raises
b.m4() # raises

In a language without multiple inheritance you need a different trick,
I presume.
What's the name of this python design pattern? :-)
