When using multiple inheritence, the order of the base classes matters!
 E.g.:

  class A(object):
      def f(self):
          print 'in A.f()'
  class B(object):
      def f(self):
          print 'in B.f()'
  class X(A, B):
      pass
  class Y(B, A):
      pass

  >>> x = X()
  >>> x.f()
  in A.f()
  >>> y = Y()
  >>> y.f()
  in B.f()

If you want to call B.f() instead of A.f() for an X instance, you can
either rename B.f() like you've done, or do this:

  >>> B.f(x)
  in B.f()
