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
