A mega-thread in the python-ideas mailing list is hardly surprising, of
course; we
have covered quite a few of them over the years. A recent example
helps shine a light into a dark—or at least dim—corner of the Python
language: the super()
built-in function for use by methods in class hierarchies.
There are some, perhaps surprising, aspects to super() along with
wrinkles in how to properly use it. But it has been part of the language
for a long time, so changes to its behavior, as was suggested in the
thread, are pretty unlikely.
