This is a very old topic, but here is a trick for single inheritance. (The problem you allude to isn't restricted to multiple inheritance).
Any class with a single parent simply defines this function. def mySuper(self) : return super(self.__class__, self) And then any parent function be referenced like self.mySuper().foo() This includes __init__.
