Re: [Python-ideas] A decorator to call super()

Jan. 31, 2017


      I think both are useful. I would make this configurable with a flag:

class MyOverridedClass(MyBaseClass):
    @extendsuper(after=True)
    def mymethod(self, foo):
        ...

Or maybe a pair of decorator is a better option: @pre_super and @post_super

Hi Roberto,

What about creating a decorator to call super() after/before the overrided
method? Something like that:
class MyOverridedClass(MyBaseClass):
    @extendsuper
    def mymethod(self, foo):
        # Do something
I could find this useful. There's just on bikeshedding issue:
When should "super().mymethod(**kwargs)" be called: *before*, *after* or
inbetween my specialized code?
Depending on the baseclass either of those three is necessary. As far as I
can tell, we encounter all of them regularly.
Best,
Sven
