I like the idea of the super() function, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem that I'm trying to fix. I don't like hard-coding in calls to super classes using their names:
class A(object): def go(self): ... class B(A): def go(self): ... A.go(self) I don't like this because if I ever change the name of 'A', I have to go through all of the methods and change the names there too. super() has the same problem, but I'm not sure why. It seems like I should be able to do: class B(A): def go(self): ... super(self).go() I can create a super() that does this as follows: _super = super def super(obj, cls=None): if cls is None: return _super(type(obj), obj) return super(cls, obj) I guess I'm just not sure why it wasn't done that way in the first place. -- Kevin Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
