Then there is a problem with your .sip file for A.

It will call the nearest in the class hierachy - which will be the Python
one. If you want to call another implementation in the hierachy then
provide an explicit scope (eg. A.foo(self)).

Like I said, you seem to have problems in your .sip files.
