self.super() was a hack that was designed to make VFP developers a
little more comfortable in Python. The second form is the correct way to call
superclass behavior.

Generally, this should be strictly user-defined code, so it isn't
necessary. It won't hurt, though.

Assuming that 'pnlMyPanel' is the *class* name, and not the instance
name, yes, that would be correct. FWIW, class names are generally TitleCased in
Python.
