A question for the Python Secret Police (or P. Inquisition, or whoever else:-).

Is the following morally allowed:

package1/mod.py: class Foo: def method1(self): ...

package2/mod.py: from package1.mod import *

class Foo(Foo): def method2(self): ...

(The background is that the modules are machine-generated and contain AppleEvent classes. There's a large set of standard classes, such as Standard_Suite, and applications can signal that they implement Standard_Suite with a couple of extensions to it. So, in the Application-X Standard_Suite I'd like to import everything from the standard Standard_Suite and override/add those methods that are specific to Application X)
