What more do you want?
Mainly: it says "a parent or sibling class of *type*" but it doesn't explain which class it actually uses. And the sentence "The __mro__ attribute of the type lists the method resolution search order used by both getattr() and super()" is even wrong or at least confusing: what matters is not the MRO of the type (the first argument to super()) but the MRO of the object (the second argument to super()). The zero-argument form super() is not explained at all.
Perhaps there ought to be a "gentle guide to super" somewhere, and the docs could link to that?
There are plenty of guides like that and in fact that docs already link to https://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/super-considered-super/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37176> _______________________________________
