Can I use clean Python 3 super() syntax in Python 2.5.6?

You cannot use a bare
super()call that contains no type/class. Nor can you implement a replacement for it that will work. Python 3.x contains special support to enable baresuper()calls (it places a__class__cell variable in all functions defined within a class – see PEP 3135Update
As of Python 2.6+, bare
super()calls can be used via thefuturePython package. See posita’s answer for an explanation.
