Aha! A very smart solution indeed. I initially had errors with this
approach because I was continuing to define "table" inside of
__init__:

class Derived(Base):
    def __init__(self):
        table = "TableName"

But as you suggested, moving the table name outside of the constructor
method (__init__) resolved the situation:

class Derived(Base):
    table = "TableName"
    def __init__(self):
        #etc...

As always, many many thanks!!
