Not always. I have an example, where a method creates a closure that calls super, requiring the class/self pair as there isn't enough context for parameterless super. (And also in __new__??? I seem to recall running into that.) class B: def method(self): ... class C(B): def method(self): def closure(): # super(C, self).method() # This will fix it... super().method() # Unbound, but no context for class or self. return closure
C().method()() RuntimeError: super(): no arguments
