How super() in Python 3 Works
In the last weeks something remarkable happened in the Python3 sources: self kinda became implicit. Not in function definitions, but in super calls. But not only self: also the class passed to
super. That’s remarkable because it means that the language shifts into a completely different direction.
I’m generally not a fan of magic, but I don’t really see the problem with adding an abbreviated form for the most common uses of super. That it was so verbose before always seemed to me to be a wart on an otherwise clean language.
