Dynamically choosing class to inherit from

Question

My Python knowledge is limited, I need some help on the following situation.

Assume that I have two classes A and B, is it possible to do somet

Answer 1

Yep, you can do exactly what you wrote. Though personally, I'd probably do it this way for cleanliness:

class _newClassNT(A):
    # class body

class _newClassOther(B):
    # class body

newClass = _newClassNT if os.name == 'nt' else _newClassOther

---

This assumes that you need to actually do different things implementation-wise within the class body. If you only need to change the inheritance, you can just embed an if statement right there:

class newClass(A if os.name == 'nt' else B):
    # class body
