For Python classes the following statements apply:
| There is multiple inheritance. |
| All class members are public. |
| Base class members can be redefined in a derived class. |
| Classes should be derived from object to be compliant with new-style classes intoduced in Python2.2. |
| The methods object is the first argument (e.g. self) |
| x.f() is exactly equivalent to MyClass.f(x) |
| The contructor does not return a value. Therefore it has to raise an exception, if something went wrong. |
