I see super documented, and in use, as below (from the Python documentation)
class C(B): def meth(self, arg): super(C, self).meth(arg) I'd like to not write C all the time, so is there any problem with writing: class C(B): def meth(self, arg): super(type(self), self).meth(arg) This seems to work in practice but I don't see it used anywhere and I'm worried what I might be missing. This was especially brought to my attention because pylint flags the second usage as invalid, and I'm not sure if it should be considered a false positive or not. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
