Your arguments against the superclass term seem to assume that there is only a single superclass to a particular class. In the example you give in your essay, I would say that all of A, B, and T are superclasses of C, and Python's super correctly iterates over all of them. Wikipedia defines superclass as a "class from which other classes are derived", which seems perfectly valid for MI. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
