What I'm proposing is that the super = superfactory() line be implicit in this case, resulting in the following code behaving identically:

class A(object): def f(self): def inner(): return 'A' + super.f() print inner()

As Guido pointed out it has some resemblance to how import works, but I also think there is resemblance to the context of how global is used. So if it is made into a keyword, could it work like the global keyword?

class A(object):
    def f(self):
        def inner():
            super f
            return 'A' + f()

        print inner()

Cheers, Ron
