It might be useful if the metaclass gathered up the contents of finalattr from the class and all its base classes. Then a class could just list its own needed attributes without having to worry about those needed by its base classes.

You already don't need to list the attributes from the base classes. The finalattrs are converted into class level descriptors, so if class D inherits from class C, it has the finalattrs descriptors for both classes.

Did you try it and find that it didn't work?
