Given this class: >>> class A: ... def afoo(*args): ... print(args)
in Python 3 we can write the following class: >>> class B(A): ... def bfoo(*args): ... super(B, args[0]).afoo(*args[1:]) ... >>> B().bfoo(1, 2, 3) (<__main__.B object at 0x7f5b3bde48d0>, 1, 2, 3) without giving arguments to super, in this way: >>> class B(A): ... def bfoo(self, *args): ... super().afoo(*args) ... >>> B().bfoo(1, 2, 3) (<__main__.B object at 0x7f5b3bdea0d0>, 1, 2, 3) But it does not work in this case: >>> class B(A): ... def bfoo(*args): ... super().afoo(*args[1:]) ... >>> B().bfoo(1, 2, 3) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<stdin>", line 3, in bfoo RuntimeError: super(): no arguments How come? -- Marco Buttu -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
