I prefer to use a class for introspection sake, since there is no way to get information about an inner function in a closure, whereas your users can introspect classes pretty well. > super_object = super(self.__class__, self) Notice that using super(self.__class__, self) is a common mistake: the pitfalls with inheritance were discussed very recently in this same newsgroup, you should be able to find the post. What you need is super(class_where_the_method_is_defined, self) which is in general different from super(self.__class__, self) There is no clean way to determine the current class in Python < 3.0 (Python 3.0 does it automatically); if you want to see a hackish way involving bytecode tricks see http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/a6010c7494871bb1/62a2da68961caeb6?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=currentClass#62a2da68961caeb6 (and notice that this is really not recommended).
