This is a typical error. You get this when you try to use "super" with
old style classes. You should try it with new style classes.
See: "class One(object):" instead of "class One:".
BTW you can always do a direct call:
def add(self,data):
One.add(self,otherstuff)
and super isn't always the good thing to use.
