Did you actually read that article, understood it, went through the tons of responses from python-dev team members, including Guido, or simply read its title, did absolutely no serious thinking about it and go on throwing it around as if it would prove anything? I can't believe this "super( ) is harmful" BS is still alive, it grew to be a mature internet meme like the dancing hamster or star wars kid :) See (among tons of other writings): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-January/thread.html Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
