[Python-ideas] A decorator to call super()

[Roberto Martínez]

I think both are useful. I would make this configurable with a flag:

class MyOverridedClass(MyBaseClass):
    @extendsuper(after=True)
    def mymethod(self, foo):
        ...

Or maybe a pair of decorator is a better option: @pre_super and @post_super
