It's a somewhat magical shortcut Paul cooked up for calling the
superclass behavior for a method. It's in dabo.lib.autosuper, and is
one of the mixin classes for dObject. So if your class is Foo, and
based on dabo.Bar, the following are all equivalent:
def method(self):
dabo.Bar.method(self)
def method(self):
super(dabo.Bar, self).method()
def method(self):
self.super()
I prefer the second form, since it and the last work better with
subclasses based on multiple inheritance, and the last form is just a
little too fragile-feeling for me. However, it does seem to work
well, so it's just a matter of taste.
