First question is "Why?". Unless you want to change the fucntionality of
*all* folder objects inheriting is the way to go.

MonkeyPatching. Python is highly dynamic. You rewrite the methods to how you
would like them, and then you replace them with a quick.

  TheClass.OldMethod = NewMethod.

And now you call the new method with
  object = TheClass()
  object.OldMethod()
Very cool.
