[Python-Dev] New Super PEP (original) (raw)

Since calling super with any arguments other than the exact same arguments you have received is nearly always wrong,

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)

That's not what he said. Your code does not call super(), so the observation that it normally should pass the exact same arguments does not apply.

Regards, Martin
