List all base classes in a hierarchy of given class?

According to the Python doc, we can also simply use class.__mro__ attribute or class.mro() method:

>>> class A:
...     pass
... 
>>> class B(A):
...     pass
... 
>>> B.__mro__
(<class '__main__.B'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>)
>>> A.__mro__
(<class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>)
>>> object.__mro__
(<class 'object'>,)
>>>
>>> B.mro()
[<class '__main__.B'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>]
>>> A.mro()
[<class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>]
>>> object.mro()
[<class 'object'>]
>>> A in B.mro()
True

In python 3.7 you don't need to import inspect, type.mro will give you the result.

>>> class A:
...   pass
... 
>>> class B(A):
...   pass
... 
>>> type.mro(B)
[<class '__main__.B'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>]
>>>

attention that in python 3.x every class inherits from base object class.

Although Jochen's answer is very helpful and correct, as you can obtain the class hierarchy using the .getmro() method of the inspect module, it's also important to highlight that Python's inheritance hierarchy is as follows:

ex:

class MyClass(YourClass):

An inheriting class

• Child class
• Derived class
• Subclass

ex:

class YourClass(Object):

An inherited class

• Parent class
• Base class
• Superclass

One class can inherit from another - The class' attributed are inherited - in particular, its methods are inherited - this means that instances of an inheriting (child) class can access attributed of the inherited (parent) class

instance -> class -> then inherited classes

using

import inspect
inspect.getmro(MyClass)

will show you the hierarchy, within Python.
