Depends on what you mean by "work in C code". It's only
possible for a type object to inherit C struct members
from one base class, since the struct has to be an
extension of the base C struct. Dynamic attributes and
methods can be inherited from multiple base classes,
however, if you're willing to write the necessary C code
to create the type object dynamically, as would happen
if it were being defined with Python code.
