Python3 super()

Putting an example:

class B(C):

   @staticmethod

   def test():

        print('unbound supers can only call static methods of classes')

   def test2(self):

        print('bound methods require bound instances or self argument')

class A(B):

   def __init__(self):

       self.super() # returns this object as a parent (B) instance

       self.super(A, self) # returns this object as a bound B instance

       self.super(B, self) # returns this object as a bound C instance

       self.super(B) # returns this object as an unbound reference to B!!

       self.super(B).__thisclass__.test() # usable, but complex

       type(self).__mro__[1].test() # equivalent call

       B.test() # when you explicitly one to point to a given method

       B.test2(self) # ídem, but bound

Summarizing:

   - Use self.super().method() when wanting to access the parent version of a method

   - Use self.super(<type>, self).method() when wanting to go to the parent of an specific class

   - Use <type>.method(self,...) when you already know the object to call
