Re: raising an exception when multiple inheritance involves samebaseThank

[Michael Hines]

Thanks very much, Arnaud. That is exactly the hint I needed. Since it is
not multiple inheritance per se I prohibit but only multiple inheritance
involving more than one HocObject class, I replaced your len(bases) 1
test with
<code>
m = False
for b in bases :
if hasattr(b, '__mro__'):
for bb in b.__mro__ :
if bb == MetaHocObject.h o :
if m == True:
raise Exception("Inhe ritance of multiple HocObject not
allowed")
m = True

</code>
to get

class A(HocObject): pass

class B(object): pass

class C(): pass

class D(C, B, HocObject): pass # ok

class D(C, A, HocObject): pass # fail

When I fold this idea into my code I may even try to eliminate the class
factory aspect of
class Foo(hclass(h.Ve ctor))
in favor of
class Foo(h.Vector)

Thanks again,
Michael
