This is a draft now because I'd like to also add a check for traits subclassing concrete classes (raising an error if so). It's almost ready to be pushed, but I need to finish the commandline tests and write a good commit message. |
It would raise even if there were only non-trait bases, leading to this
slightly confusing situation:
class A: pass
class B: pass
class C(A, B): pass # E: Non-trait bases must appear first in parent list
# E: Multiple inheritance is not supported (except for traits)
Now the bases must include a non-trait *and* the first base must be a
trait to error. This leads to some false-negative when there's more
than one non-trait base, but in that case, it's better to only tell the
user multiple inheritance is not supported.

Turns out that traits are allowed to subclass concrete classes as long as the MRO is linear (ie. no multiple inheritance just like for regular native classes). |
