<br>
Using Python 3.1, I sometimes use the super() function to call the
equivalent method from a parent class, for example<br>
<br>
def mymethod(self):<br>
super().mymethod()<br>
some more code...<br>
<br>
Is there any way of writing the code so that the super() call is
generic and automatically recognises the name of the current method
(ie. something like super().thismethod()) or do I always have to repeat
the method name after super()?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
Alan<br>

<div> I think, the super() method is designed to delegate any
method call to one of the class in its mro list, and the super()
function its self return a 'super' object, so it is better to write
what method you want to delegate, maybe it's not the current method. <br

Thanks Ray - I'll stick to repeating the method name.<br>
