Python Cyclic Inheritance

Cyclic inheritance occurs when two or more classes inherit from each other in a circular fashion, which is not supported in Python as it would result in undefined class names. For example, if a class A tries to inherit from itself as class A(A):pass, it would result in a NameError since A is not yet defined when it is being inherited.
