A question for the Python Secret Police (or P. Inquisition, or whoever 
else:-).

Is the following morally allowed:

package1/mod.py:
class Foo:
    def method1(self):
        ...

package2/mod.py:
from package1.mod import *

class Foo(Foo):
    def method2(self):
        ...

(The background is that the modules are machine-generated and contain
AppleEvent classes. There's a large set of standard classes, such as
Standard_Suite, and applications can signal that they implement
Standard_Suite with a couple of extensions to it. So, in the
Application-X Standard_Suite I'd like to import everything from the
standard Standard_Suite and override/add those methods that are
specific to Application X)
