This is a bit out of date. The isinstance() docs now specify that the predicate tests for direct, indirect, and virtual inheritance. Likewise, the super() docs already specify that only the __mro__ is searched. So those docs are already precise. Am thinking of adding a FAQ entry about when direct inheritance is required and include the OP's example. FWIW, this isn't really about super(). It affects any attribute lookup or any other property of inheritance. A true result from instance() doesn't imply that actual inheritance has occurred. ---------- assignee: docs@python -> rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue20503> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
