I think the OP wants to call super without having to explicitly name
the type. If you use the self.__class__ approach in that scenario, you
can enter into a recursion loop with further inheritance.

 class T(object):
    """I'm a standard class"""
    def f(self):
        print "function"

class S(T):
    """I call super using self.__class__"""
    def f(self):
        super(self.__class__, self).f()

class J(S):
    """I don't know about S' odd call."""

j = J()
j.f() # <--- Bombs
