correct class inheritance
<p>I've written some code that allows the term 'job' to be used universally to perform a unique task. The specific jobs can be chosen through setting an initial variable "job_type". From that initial variable a particulay subclass is chosen to perform the appropriate job. Maybe the code will make more sense :)</p>

<pre><code>if __name__=='__main__':
    # these variables would normally be called in from a config file
    job_type = 'job1'
    uni_var = 10

    job_select = superClass(job_type, uni_var)
    job_select.job()        


class superClass(object):
    def __init__(self, job_type, uni_var):
        self.job_type = job_type   
        self.uni_var = uni_var

        if self.job_type == 'job1':
            self.jobChoice = option1()
        else:
            self.jobChoice = option2()

    # This is the definition called by the main function it then
    # redirects the request to the appropriate job sub class   
    def job(self):
        self.jobChoice.job()

class option1(superClass):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def job(self):
        print 'job option 1'
        print uni_var

class option2(superClass):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def job(self):
        print 'job option 2'
        print uni_var
</code></pre>

<p>The thought behind this code was to allow a single/constant 'main' function, to action a variety of unique tasks based purely on the variable 'job_type'. Which it seems to be doing fine.</p>

<p>My question (as a very inexperienced coder) is, have I gone about this the right way or is there a better way to do things?</p>

<p>Also, have I set up the variable 'uni_var' correctly in the superClass to be correctly shared across all/any superClass subclasses?</p>

<p>Thanks.  </p>
