Class inheritance errors out

[swenson]

When importing the datetime module, which went something like this:

class date:
  ...
class datetime(date):
  ...

the second line errors out with something like date not found.

Attempting to get a small reproducer gives a different error:

class date:
    pass

class d2(date):
    pass

print(d2)

gives the error TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined. Different, but also needs to be addressed.

This is partially addressed, in that very simple super() usages were added in https://github.com/pybee/batavia/pull/268

Hi @swenson , I would like to give it a try. I am a first time contributor but eager to learn and contribute. How can I help?

@son-vyas This is a fairly deep issue to address, if it hasn't been already. It would probably be best to do something like:

• Check that the reproducer above still doesn't work.
• Look at #268
• Check the current state of how super() works as well as how our type inheritance works
• Figure out what we're doing differently than CPython
• Write code to make us do something a little closer to what CPython does. :)

Sorry if that is a bit vague.
