Question

Is this a legal use of super()?

class A(object):
    def method(self, arg):
        pass

class B(A):
    def method(self, arg):
        super(B,self).method(arg)

class C(B):
    def method(self, arg):
        super(B,self).method(arg)

Thank you.

It will work, but it will probably confuse anyone trying to read your code (including you, unless you remember it specifically). Don’t forget that if you want to call a method from a particular parent class, you can just do:

A.method(self, arg)
