Hi Andreas,

We should ask Emilia why she's asking this question. This particular 
problem sounds way too close to a homework question for my comfort.  A 
more cautious approach might be better.

We can point out:

http://www.python.org/doc/tut/node11.html#SECTION0011310000000000000000
http://www.python.org/doc/tut/node11.html#SECTION0011500000000000000000


If Emilia is a CS student, then pointing out the grammar at:

http://www.python.org/doc/ref/class.html#tok-inheritance

would probably be helpful too.


Best of wishes!
