Description
I am exploring gpython to embed Python scripting in a Go project. I have the following question regarding object interoperability:
- Is it possible to define a Python class that inherits from a Go object exposed to gpython?
- Can such a Python subclass override methods or add new attributes on top of the Go object?
For example, in Python I would like to do something like:
```python
# Hypothetical example
class PyVacation(MyGoVacation):
def new_method(self):
return "Python override"
@property
def new_attr(self):
return "Python attribute"
```
Currently, I am able to expose Go objects to gpython and call Go methods, but I am unsure if inheritance is supported.
Could you clarify whether this is possible, and if not, are there recommended workarounds (e.g., composition or monkey-patching) to extend Go objects in Python?
Thank you for your help!
