It looks like I made an unfortunate choice with the
title ("Things to Know about Super"). I have just changed
it to "Things to Know about *Python* Super" so that now
googling for "python super" should hopefully find them.

I agree that the real solution would be to publish on python.org, but
for that I have to write yet another paper about Python 3.0 super, cut
things about old version/bugs of Python, re-read the whole beast, and
convince the core developers to publish it (which is not automatic).
That is some work, and I have many other projects going on right now.
Truth is, discussions about super do not come out so often, and most
people don't care.

Me too, but you know what happens when working for free and without
deadlines ;)

Soon or later I will go back to super in Python 3.0, but now I am
working on my Scheme series, I have yet to translate two articles of
my "Mixins considered harmful" series, and I have at least two other
articles which has been waiting publication for more than one year.
Plus, I have a full time job ;)
But if you and others keep bugging me something may happen ...
