How do you clone a class in Python?

Question

I have a class A and i want a class B with exactly the same capabilities. I cannot or do not want to inherit from B, such as doing class B(A):pass Still i want B to be ident

Answer 1

You can clone the class via inheritance. Otherwise you are just passing around a reference to the class itself (rather than a reference to an instance of the class). Why would you want to duplicate the class anyway? It's obvious why you would want to create multiple instances of the class, but I can't fathom why you would want a duplicate class. Also, you could simply copy and paste with a new class name...
