• Python uses "classical inheritance. JS uses "prototypal" inheritance.
• In python, you have an init constructor which generally contains some methods. In javascript, any function can be constructor by putting new in front of the function call. Make a method available to every instance of this javascript constructor by adding it to the prototype property of the constructor.

class Example(object):
    def __init__(self, args):
         self.args = args

     def example_function(self):
         #something to self.args

f = Example(data)
f.example_function()

//python

function Example(args){
this.args = args;
}

Example.prototype.example_function = function() {
 //do something to this.args
}

f = new Example();
f.example_function();

//javascript

• In python, functions and methods are different types.
• How to make an object inherit from another in javascript:

function Base() {
   console.log('something');
}

function Derived() {
   console.log('something2');
}

Derived.prototype = new Base();

• How to make a class inherit from another in python:

class Base(object):
   pass

class Derived(Base):
pass
