That may work, now that I come to think about it. However, super() is not a complete solution, because it doesn't let you choose which inherited method to call in a multiple inheritance situation.

Yes, that's the point of super().

if you want more control, you can just get the property object out of the class you want -- super() doesn't have supernatural powers, all it does is pick the class for you. :-)
