Can you explain advanced examples of inheritance in Python?

Sure! Advanced inheritance in Python includes concepts like multiple inheritance, method resolution order (MRO), and mixins. Would you like to see a specific example?

Yes, please provide an example of multiple inheritance.

Alright! Here's a simple example:

class A:
    def method(self):
        return 'Method from A'

class B:
    def method(self):
        return 'Method from B'

class C(A, B):
    pass

c = C()
print(c.method())  # Output: Method from A

In this case, class C inherits from both A and B, but it uses the method from A due to the MRO.

What is MRO and how does it work?

MRO stands for Method Resolution Order. It determines the order in which base classes are searched when executing a method. You can view the MRO of a class using the __mro__ attribute or the mro() method. For example:

print(C.__mro__)  # Output: (<class '__main__.C'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <class '__main__.B'>, <class 'object'>)
