This is fine. Before, you said:

I thought from the context that you had a dForm as a Parent of a dMainForm. I
see now
that you didn't really mean "Parent" but rather "superclass". And I think you
are
referring to the situation, which defines two subclasses for clarity (so I
don't have
to say "in dabo.ui.dForm"):
class MySuperForm(dabo.ui.dForm):
def save(self):
print "MySuperForm.save()"
class MyForm(MySuperForm):
def save(self):
print "MyForm.save()"
Do I have it right now? If so, then this example:
frm = MyForm(None):
frm.save()
Would result in:
MyForm.save()
You'd have to add the super(), like:
class MyForm(MySuperForm):
def save(self):
print "MyForm.save()"
super(MyForm, self).save()
to get:
MyForm.save()
MySuperForm.save()
And in the case of MyForm not overriding save() at all, if you called
MyForm.save()
you'd see:
MySuperForm.save()
This has always been this way. It's how Python works.
