Same meaning yes, but that doesn't mean that I can't/shouldn't reuse
code that address a part of the problem.
If your superclass has a method with the same name (other than __init__
here), that contains some logic that a subclass that overrides the method
needs, it's written wrong in python.
No its not, this is standard OOP design in any OO language.
Polymorphism is where the power of OOP reallly comes into play.
If you have to write all of the code for every overridden method
then I'd say that was bad design.
