Hi Calvin,

It doesn't pass the following test, for example: class A(object): metaclass = autosuper def f(self): if type(self) is B: return "we've got a B" else: return "oups" class B(A): def f(self): return Super.f() assert B().f() == "we've got a B" I don't honestly think that you can easily fix the implementation to pass this test, but I'm ready to check proposed fixes and write tests for them. If there is really no working implementation yet then it shouldn't have been a PEP posted on python-dev in the first place, IMHO (and the discussion shouldn't go on on python-dev either).

You are absolutely correct, it should not have gone to python-dev. It was supposed to go to python-3000, where the initial discussion took place, where Guido asked for someone to write the PEP right off the bat. However, as much as I love GMail, it makes it less than easy to always know which mailing list I'm on, so I actually thought I was in that discussion at dev, not 3000. I apologize to everyone for mixing the threads between lists! This is exactly why I need to start pulling in all the dev lists to the summaries.
