Listing subtypes

[Samuel]

Hi,

I remember seeing an easy way to list all subtypes of a specific type
but I haven't been able to find it anymore. What I am trying to do is
this: Given a class, get a list of all classes that derive from it.
Pretty much like __mro__ but downwards rather then upwards. Any ideas?

A class knows its parents; it doesn't know its children. (Or, in other
words, children need to know who their parents are, but aren't
required to notify their parents about anything.)

Not right. These special children are under a more demanding goverment.
class A(object):
pass

class B(A):
pass

print A.__subclasses__()
