If you want super functionality, a poster a year or so ago, submitted
this little hack for a situation where he wanted to use a derived class
with multiple base classes, but without having to retype dozens of lines
of code.
class friendly:
def __init__(self):
print "Hello"
class friendlier(friendly):
def __super(self):
return friendly
def __init__(self, name):
self.__super().__init__(self)
print name
As long as you've only got single inheritance, or are only interested in
the first class, you can automate it as follows:
class friendlier(friendly):
def __super(self):
return self.__class__.__bases__[0]
Useful in some situations,
