Summary: First steps towards new super (PEP 367)
Initial Comment:
A half-assed start of an implementation for super.
This is lacking parser support; instead, for now, you have to have a
keyword-only argument named super, e.g.
def foo(self, arg, *, super):
return super.foo(arg) + 1
Note that the first version changes method lookup for bound method lookup but
not yet for unbound method lookup. E.g. if f is defined in class B, and class
C derives from B, C().f returns a bound method object whose im_class attribute
is set to B (as opposed to C as it used to be) but C.f returns an unbound
method object with im_class set to C. (I hope to this in a later version.)

Oops, a last-minute change didn't work out. This version is better.

Here's a version that modifies the grammar so 'super' is a keyword. The
compiler automatically inserts a 'super' keyword-only argument into a
function's signature when the 'super' keyword is used in its body. It
works!
This requires the p3yk branch at -r55692 or newer.

Here's a new version. Forget about sup.py, the demos are now in
Lib/test/test_super.py.
Only a few tests fail due to the semantic change (about six files have 1-2
failures each). I think this is acceptable.

And a new sup.py example demonstrating that the new patch works.

Here's a new version of the patch where C.f.im_class (in the above
example) correctly returns B.

Here is sup.py, a small demo of how this is supposed to work.
