If I remember correctly, A.onKeyDown.
But things can get more complicated in other cases. See also the following post
for a read on the MRO (method resolution order); could help to clarify things
(or confuse you further):

What is b here? Are you (trying to) save(ing) a parent as a instance in the
class? Or should that be uppercase B?
The latter would work, I think, though you'll have to put `self` here
explicitly (since you're calling it without an instance, *and* you want to tell
the method the instance is NewClass() instead of eg B()):
def onKeyDown(self, event):
B.onKeyDown(self, event)
