Personally, I really like this syntax:

res = super currentmethod(arg, arg) Why? because it's very consistent (pythonic?) with the way I'm used to use any other keyword. But it's inconsistent with the way every other method is called.

Yeah, you're absolutely right. :-)

Have you seen my second proposal?

Calling a method:

self.method(arg)

Calling a super method:

super self.method(arg)

That's consistent with: * the way you call any other method * the way you use any other keyword

Thanks for the attention.

Ciao Michele
