That is a bit of a PITA. One way of handling it is to design your diamond so that only one class inherits from object and that class doesn't use super(). Or you can wrap the super call in a try/except AttributeError. Cooperative multiple inheritance isn't pretty -- which is just another good reason to use composition rather that inheritance.
