|

* impossible to handle multiple inheritance in the C-API for python extensions. Also using multiple
|

* parent classes in python is currently not possible with the default object approach.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The concept of extensions allow to circumvent those problems. Extensions are FreeCAD objects
|
||||
* which work like normal objects in the sense that they use properties and class methods to define
|
||||
* their functionality. However, they are not exposed as individual usable entities but are used to
|
||||
* extend other objects. A extended object gets all the properties and methods of the extension.
