If you have an instance of a B then super(B,self).met() will call A.met(), but if self is actually an instance of a D, then super(B,self).met() actually calls C.met(). That is why super needs both the class and the instance: so it can jump sideways across the inheritance diamond instead of always passing calls to the base of the current class. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
