I was bitten by the urge to play with this today, and modified my previous "self" hack to handle "super" also, so that the following code works:

 class D (C):
     @method
     def sum(n):
         return super.sum(n * 2) - self.base

Because hacking "super" requires having the class object handy, this one needs a metaclass to do its magic, which is a shame. I guess if it was implemented inside the cpython compiler, it would be less of a problem.

BTW, a "super-only" version of this decortor (that I think could be called "implement") has some more chances in Python. But think belongs more to Python-Ideas list, ok?
