Re: [Python-3000] Fixing super anyone?

[Tim Delaney]

I've been off sick from work for over a week - I've been following this discussion, but now I think I've got something which matches all the criteria we've been discussing, so I've changed my subscription address temporarily to my home one.

Recipe: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/286195





   class A(autosuper):
       def f(self):
           pass

   class B(A):
       def f(self):
           super()

it would be functionally identical to the following:

   class B(A):
       def f(self):
           super.f()

It involves bytecode hacking for now, as well as a metaclass. The code is attached. It's based partially off my 'self.super' recipe, but doesn't need to use sys._getframe(). Basically, the metaclass modifies the bytecode to include some setup code to any function that uses 'super'. The setup code generates the correct 'super' object, and stores it as a local variable. All uses of LOAD_GLOBAL(super) are changed to LOAD_FAST(super). The one thing I would like to add is something I've got in my 'self.super' recipe - I've got my own 'super' object that is callable. Calling it invokes the super method of the current method i.e. if you've got the following code: This could be easily implemented by having the 'super' constructor take a 'name' parameter (which would be passed the name of current method in the setup code). Then when super() is called, it would perform the name lookup. Tim Delaney
