Can an interface extend multiple interfaces in Java?

Yes, you can do it. An interface can extend multiple interfaces, as shown here: interface Maininterface extends inter1, inter2, inter3 { // methods } A single class can also implement multiple interfaces. What if two interfaces have a method defining the same name and signature? There is a tricky point: interface A { void test(); … Read more

Multiple inheritance metaclass conflict

The problem in your case is that the classes you try to inherit from have different metaclasses: >>> type(QStandardItem) <class ‘sip.wrappertype’> >>> type(ConfigParser) <class ‘abc.ABCMeta’> Therefore python can’t decide which should be the metaclass for the newly created class. In this case, it would have to be a class inheriting from both sip.wrappertype (or PyQt5.QtCore.pyqtWrapperType … Read more

python typing module: Mixin

It seem to be impossible for now. You can find a discussion about “Intersection” type in python/typing#123 repository. There is a similar feature on PEP-544 called Protocol, and you can merge mixins by merging mixin protocols. There is an implementation of PEP-544 called typing_extensions. Maybe you can try that with this library.

Inherit interfaces which share a method name

This problem doesn’t come up very often. The solution I’m familiar with was designed by Doug McIlroy and appears in Bjarne Stroustrup’s books (presented in both Design & Evolution of C++ section 12.8 and The C++ Programming Language section 25.6). According to the discussion in Design & Evolution, there was a proposal to handle this … Read more

How does Python’s “super” do the right thing?

Change your code to this and I think it’ll explain things (presumably super is looking at where, say, B is in the __mro__?): class A(object): def __init__(self): print “A init” print self.__class__.__mro__ class B(A): def __init__(self): print “B init” print self.__class__.__mro__ super(B, self).__init__() class C(A): def __init__(self): print “C init” print self.__class__.__mro__ super(C, self).__init__() class … Read more

Why exactly do I need an explicit upcast when implementing QueryInterface() in an object with multiple interfaces()

The problem is that *ppv is usually a void* – directly assigning this to it will simply take the existing this pointer and give *ppv the value of it (since all pointers can be cast to void*). This is not a problem with single inheritance because with single inheritance the base pointer is always the … Read more
