Re: [Python-ideas] Explicit self argument, implicit super argument

There are two common method-calling cases, and an uncommon one. In order of expected number of occurrences, with #3 being quite low:

1. self.method(...)

2. super.method(...)

3. DistantParent.method(self, ...)

You're still missing an important case. I would rank them as

1. self.method(...)

2. DirectParent.method(self, ...)

3. super.method(...)

4. DistantParent.method(self, ...)

Anything that made number 2 difficult would be unacceptable.
