It is in the standard library, so I have no clue why. For old style classes, you should directly call the ancestor class method. For new style classes it works just fine:
class ConfigParser(object): def add_section(self, section): print section, "in ",self.__class__.__name__ class MyConfig(ConfigParser): def add_section(self, section): super(MyConfig, self).add_section(section) m = MyConfig() m.add_section("blah") The output: blah in MyConfig -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
