How does it help that Parent.__init__ gets called? That call simply would create a temporary Parent object, right? I don't see how it should help (even though it *does* indeed work). Why do we need to pass self along in that call to super()? Shouldn't the class name be enough for super() to find the right superclass object? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
