I'm writing-up more guidance on how to use super() and would like to point at some real-world Python examples of cooperative multiple inheritance.
Google searches take me to old papers for C++ and Eiffel, but that don't seem to be relevant to most Python programmers (i.e. a WalkingMenu example where a submenu is both a Entry in a Menu and a Menu itself). Another published example is in a graphic library where some widgets inherit GraphicalFeature methods such as location, size and NestingGroupingFeatures such as finding parents, siblings, and children. I don't find either of those examples compelling because there is no particular reason that they would have to have overlapping method names. So far, the only situation I can find where method names necessarily overlap is for the basics like __init__(), close(), flush(), and save() where multiple parents need to have their own initialization and finalization. If you guys know of good examples, I would appreciate a link or a recap. Thanks, Raymond -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
