You must spell out the parent explicitly, otherwise subclasses call super() with themselves rather than the correct parent class. self.__class__ is too dynamic here. Have a look at this example: class A(object): def method(self): pass class B(A): def method(self): super(self.__class__, self).method() class C(B): pass In this example, C().method() results in "super(C, self).method()" because self.__class__ is C. However that is wrong because you have to call super() with the direct parent. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
