And by the way, you probably shouldn't call the mro method directly.
That method is provided so that it can be overridden in order to
customize the MRO at class creation.  The proper (and faster) way to
look up the MRO for a class is using the __mro__ attribute, which
stores the result of the mro method when the class is initialized.
