Much as I appreciate the pun, that isn't properly breadth-first, alas.
This is and returns the classes in tranches by distance in case you care
about the specific distance rather than a distance ordering:

    def bfs_bases2(cls):
        bases = [cls]
        while len(bases) > 0:
            yield bases
            bases = reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, (base.__bases__ for base in bases))
