That's just the syntax for calling a method on the base class. 1. MultiEmailField is a subclass of forms.Field. 2. forms.Field has a method named validate. 3. MultiEmailField also has a method named validate, so it overrides the one on forms.Field.
So, for MultiEmailField to call its parent's validate() method, it has to use super. That's how the subclass can use the parent's code, and add some of its own. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
