[Python-Dev] python and super

Hi all, I recently stumbled upon an issue with a class in the mro chain not calling super, therefore breaking the chain (ie, further base classes along the chain didn't get called). I understand it is currently a requirement that all classes that are part of the mro chain behave and always call super. My question is, shouldn't/wouldn't it be better, if python took ownership of that part, and ensured all classes get called, even if some class misbehaved? For example, if using a stack-like structure, pushing super calls and popping until the stack was empty, couldn't this restriction be removed? Thanks, Ricardo
