Oh - some output ...

>>> class autosuper(object):
...     __metaclass__ = _autosuper
...
>>> class A(autosuper):
...     def f(self):
...         print 'A:', super
...
>>> class B(A):
...     def f(self):
...         print 'B:', super
...         super.f()
...
>>> class C(A):
...     def f(self):
...         print 'C:', super
...         super.f()
...
>>> class D(B, C):
...     def f(self):
...         print 'D:', super
...         super.f()
...
>>> D().f()
D: <super: <class 'D'>, <D object>>
B: <super: <class 'B'>, <D object>>
C: <super: <class 'C'>, <D object>>
A: <super: <class 'A'>, <D object>>
