[Tutor] Dynamic inheritance?

Hi,

I have a number of classes, each of which should inherit from a related superclass in another module:

class A(Super.A):
    ...

class B(Super.B):
    ...

class C(Super.C):
    ...

Is there a way to dynamically determine the value of Super at runtime? Background: Depending on certain object attributes which are set during the object initialization, I need to use a different set of templates for the respective object.

Example: If a page object belongs to site A, it needs to inherit from the template class SiteA.Page, a gallery object belonging to site B should inherit from SiteB.Gallery etc.

The problem is that the template classes are not self contained, i.e. SiteB.Gallery inherits from SiteB.List, SiteB.Base etc.

Thanks in advance,

Jan
