It sounds like you could create the basic class as normal but
pass in the appropriate function to the init constructor. Then
instead of making it a method create a metjod that calls that
function, something like this:

class C:
    def __init__(self, myfunc):
       self.func = myfunc
    def driver(self,params_as_needed):
       return self.func(params_as_needed)
    def common1(self....)
    etc...

Now you can create instances like:

def f1(....):...
def f2(...)....

c = C(f1)
d = C(f2)

etc.

Is that what you want?
