Subclassing ExtensionClasses in C?

Hello,
I have a small question about using ExtensionClass with my python
module.
It was suggested to me recently that I may want to look at rewriting my
python extension pygtk to use ExtensionClasses (to increase speed,
decrease mem usage, and a few other benefits). For those who have not
used pygtk, it is a wrapper for the GTK GUI widget set (see
www.gtk.org).
If I switched over to using ExtensionClass, I would want to create a
heirachy of ExtensionClasses implemented in C as wrappers for the
various widgets. Looking through the documentation for ExtensionClass,
it has examples of how to create classes in C that can be subclassed in
python, but it does not seem to have any examples of how to write one
extension class that subclasses another extension class.
I assume that this is possible, but I haven't seen any examples. Is it
possible to do with the public ExtensionClass API, or is it a little
more difficult. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
James Henstridge.
