Python extending with – using super() Python 3 vs Python 2

by

  • super() (without arguments) was introduced in Python 3 (along with __class__):

    super() -> same as super(__class__, self)

    so that would be the Python 2 equivalent for new-style classes:

    super(CurrentClass, self)

  • for old-style classes you can always use:

     class Classname(OldStyleParent):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        OldStyleParent.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
