oddness in super()

[Michael P. Soulier]

Ok, this works in Python on Windows, but here on Linux, with Python 2.4.1, I'm
getting an error. 

The docs say:

A typical use for calling a cooperative superclass method is:

class C(B):
    def meth(self, arg):
        super(C, self).meth(arg)

However, when I try this, which works on windows, with ActiveState
ActivePython 2.4.0...

class RemGuiFrame(RemGlade.RemFrame):
    """This class is the top-level frame for the application."""

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
        "Class constructor."
        # Constructor chaining
        super(RemGuiFrame, self).__init__(*args, **kwds)

...on linux I get this...

[msoulier at piglet pysrc]$ ./RemGui.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./RemGui.py", line 206, in ?
    frame_1 = RemGuiFrame(None, -1, "")
  File "./RemGui.py", line 30, in __init__
    super(RemGuiFrame, self).__init__(*args, **kwds)
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

Why the difference? Is Python portability overrated? Is this a bug?

I'm confused.
