Hi all.

I spent some days and nights on this already and my google-fu is running out.

I'd like to implement the equivalent of this Python code in a C-extension:

>>> class A(object):
...  pass
>>> class B(A):
...  pass
>>> A
<class '__main__.A'>
>>> B
<class '__main__.B'>
>>> B.__bases__
(<class '__main__.A'>,)

However, loading my C-code (quoted below) I get:

>>> import ca
>>> ca
<module 'ca' from 'ca.so'>
>>> ca.ca
<type 'ca.ca'>

Here I'd expect "<class 'ca.ca'>" instead?! And I never managed a proper 
subclass :|

The point of the excercise: with "ca" and "cb" properly implemented, I'd like 
to subclass "cb" not from "ca", but from the Python "class A" - if possible?!

Could somepne kindly point out my mistake(s) and set me back on track?

Thanks

	Daniel
