Perhaps what's missing is full acknowledgment that Python has 
dual-inheritance and thus it can have mixin classes (which seems 
to me to be the only useful use of dual inheritance). You know 
you can have mixins in Python, right?

Also, I wrote my share of XML parsing/writing code, but more and 
more I am persuaded that if the answer is “XML” then there is 
some wrong with the question. Python is a way more expressive 
language than XML, so it is almost always more useful to write 
in Python, than to pass any problems to XML.
