This bothers me as well. If you look at Raymond Hettinger's "super()
considered super" article, he includes the (correct) advice that
super() needs to be used at every level of the call chain. At the end
of the article, he offers this example to show how "easy" multiple
inheritance can be:
from collections import Counter, OrderedDict
class OrderedCounter(Counter, OrderedDict):
'Counter that remembers the order elements are first seen'
def __repr__(self):
return '%s(%r)' % (self.__class__.__name__,
OrderedDict(self))
def __reduce__(self):
return self.__class__, (OrderedDict(self),)
oc = OrderedCounter('abracadabra')
Which is pretty cool in its simplicity, but here's the rub (which I
have previously noted on this list): OrderedDict doesn't use super.
Counter does, but not cooperatively; it just calls super().__init__()
with no arguments. So the fact that this example works at all is
basically luck.
