Correct: we are only talking methods here, not events.

doDefault() is Dabo. self.super() is Dabo. What Python has is super():
class A(object):
def myMethod(self):
print "in A"
class B(A):
def myMethod(self):
print "In B"
super(B, self).myMethod()
B().myMethod()
In B
In A
Notice how you need to explicity type the subclass ref, self, and the
method name you want to call. This is what Dabo's self.super() does for you:
import dabo
class A(dabo.dObject):
def myMethod(self):
print "in A"
class B(A):
def myMethod(self):
print "In B"
self.super()
B().myMethod()
In B
In A

The python way is super(cls, self).foo().
