Example: python subclass

class SuperHero(object): #superclass, inherits from default object
    def getName(self):
        raise NotImplementedError #you want to override this on the child classes

class SuperMan(SuperHero): #subclass, inherits from SuperHero
    def getName(self):
        return "Clark Kent"

class SuperManII(SuperHero): #another subclass
    def getName(self):
       return "Clark Kent, Jr."

    sm = SuperMan()
    print sm.getName()
    sm2 = SuperManII()
