Very frequently, when calling inherited __init__ methods. > If it is calling a superclass method, then super(Class, > self).some_method() should be used That's a matter of opinion. In the case of __init__ methods, most of the time it simply doesn't work, because different __init__ methods rarely have the same signature. In other cases, so far in my code I've found exactly zero use cases for super(). I've considered using it a couple of times, but changed my mind when I realised that it wouldn't do what I wanted, and it was better to redesign my inheritance hierarchy so that I could use plain inherited calls instead. So I would never tell anyone that they "should" be using super(). -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
