> Just FYI, 'super' is not a type
No, super is a type:
>>> super
<type 'super'>
It's one of 3 types defined in Objects/typeobject.c:
PyBaseObject_Type : "object"
PyType_Type : "type"
PySuper_Type : "super"
A super instance (CPython superobject) has the following members:
__thisclass__ : the class invoking super()
__self__ : the instance invoking super()
__self_class__ : the type of the instance invoking super()
super has a cutsom __getattribute__ (tp_getattro) slot, super_getattro, which
proxies attribute access starting at the parent/sibling of __thisclass__ in the
__mro__ of __self_class__.
super even defines a __get__ descriptor (tp_descr_get) method, super_descr_get,
though I've never used it as such.
