However, having the AST compiler expand

class A: def m(self): blah() super(self).m() blah() to class A: def m(self): super = superfactory(A) blah() super(self).m() blah()

I'm sold on the super(self) syntax and whacked together a quick & dirty patch. I made my changes in Objects/super.c, rather than the AST as you suggest. Determining this_class ('A' in your example) without touching the AST is obviously going to be problematic, but even with the AST how would you propose we determine the "current" class?

I've attached my patch irrespective. All relevant changes are within super_init.

Forgive the ignorance, I'm relatively new to this stuff :)

Cheers, Tom
