I don't believe that David's denials that people are confused by super() are even a little bit reasonable. Of course people are confused by super, especially when it comes to multiple inheritance. Its a confusing technique. https://fuhm.net/super-harmful/ The problem with super is not super, but MI, which is inherently hard to use correctly even if you don't misunderstand super(). > A coworker of mine once switched the order in which class were > inherited from stating it wasn't gonna change anything. Yes well that was just silly. Of course the order matters. Even in single inheritance, the order matters: Spam inherits from Eggs inherits from Cheese is not the same as Spam inherits from Cheese inherits from Eggs in the general case. We've all done "What the hell was I thinking?!?" errors when programming. I'm sure I've done sillier. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/2NJSJCDN3HA7S4TGII47RN2NC3UNGJKE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
