Erm. Excuse me, but are you saying this code is wrong?

class Rectangle: def init(self, width, height): self.width = width self.height = height class Square: def init(self, side): Rectangle.init(self, side, side)

The PEP is all about cooperative super calls, so it doesn't apply to this.

I'd still rather see syntactic support for ordinary inherited calls before cooperative ones, as cooperative ones are used much more rarely, in my experience.
