It's not -- super is not a replacement for explicit inherited method calls. It does something different, and has different use cases. It's usually not appropriate for __init__ calls, because an __init__ method generally doesn't have the same signature as that of its base class(es). You're better off calling the base __init__ directly, then you know exactly which method you're calling and what signature it has. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
