Thoughts on #OOP from an old #Python #code poet who’s been talking to machines 40 years, No. 1/397:

1. #Subclassing is rarely helpful. I sometimes construct base classes for unit tests of related #objects. Often, however, these related objects requiring base classes to avoid copy-paste code became necessary b/c I used #subclasses in the first place.

2. It can be helpful when subclasses represent distinct but related flavors of some common behavior.

3. Multiple inheritance: No.
