+# Reverse Lookup
+
+Implementation of a reverse lookup similar to [Beta](https://beta.cs.au.dk/) where parent classes have priority and decide when to allow the subclasses (or the instance) to extend its behaviour.
+
+## Installation
+
+Reverse Lookup is made using pure python metaprogamming interfaces so it can be installed easily from pypi
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install reverse_lookup
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Using Reverse Lookup is as simple as inhereting a class.
+
+```python
+from reverse_lookup import ReverseLookup
+
+class A(ReverseLookup):
+    ...
+```
+
+Now all instances of `A` will have a lookup that looks like `object -> A -> <A object>`.  
+This works for subclasses too.
+
+```python
+class A(ReverseLookup):
+    def m(self):
+        return 'A'
+
+class B(A):
+    def m(self):
+        return 'B'
+
+B().m() # => 'A'
+```
+
+To allow subclasses to extend the logic you can use `Inner`.
+
+```python
+from reverse_lookup import ReverseLookup, Inner
+
+class A(ReverseLookup):
+    def m(self):
+        return 'A' + Inner(self, A).m()
+        
+class B(A):
+    def m(self):
+        return 'B'
+
+B().m() #=> 'AB'
+```
+
+Like the built-in `super`, `Inner` can be send any message and it will do a lookup for it starting at the step following the class recived as parameter in the mro, it will fail with `AttributeError` if there is not a next implementation and special methods need to be called explicitly.
+
+Since python doesn't allow monkey patching of standard classes (ex. object), special method such as `__str__ ` still use the all lookup.
+
+## Motivation
+
+We mentioned ina class that this was posible using metaprogramming and I though it was a fun project.
