What types of inheritance exist in the Python programming language?

In Python, the following types of inheritance exist:

1. Single inheritance — a class inherits from one parent class.

class Parent:
    pass

class Child(Parent):
    pass

2. Multiple inheritance — a class inherits from multiple classes.

class A:
    pass

class B:
    pass

class C(A, B):
    pass

3. Multilevel inheritance — a chain of inheritance where a class inherits from a class that itself inherits from another.

class Grandparent:
    pass

class Parent(Grandparent):
    pass

class Child(Parent):
    pass

4. Hierarchical inheritance — multiple classes inherit from a single parent.

class Parent:
    pass

class Child1(Parent):
    pass

class Child2(Parent):
    pass

Python supports dynamic method resolution order (MRO), which is especially important in multiple inheritance to determine the method search order.
