That's exactly the problem I encounter ;-)
After some trial and error, I found this solution:

class Basic_Ancestor ( object ) :
    def __init__ ( self, .... ) :
        # Collect all methods and attributes of other classes
        self.Exclude_Dir  = []
        Base_Classes = self.__class__.__bases__
        for BC in Base_Classes :
            if BC != My_Control_Class :
                self.Exclude_Dir += dir ( BC )
