  • Best practices for using super()

    From =?UTF-8?B?UGV0ZXIgU2zDrcW+aWs=?=@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 4 14:20:08 2023
    As a follow-up to my yesterday's question - are there any recommendations
    on the usage of super()?

    It's clear that super() can be used to invoke parent's:
    - instance methods
    - static methods
    - constants ("static" attributes in the parent class, e.g. super().NUMBER).

    This all works, but are there situations in which calling them explicitly
    using a parent class name is preferred?

    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hey,

    When you have multiple inheritance and you e.g. want to explicitely call __init__ of one of the classes inherited from, that is not the first in the list of classes to inherit from.

    Cheers,

    Lars
