super

super(type, object-or-type)

The true meaning of super and its argument is:

Lineriz(by mro) inherent architecture from object-or-type then get the class right after type.

For example, if __mro__ of object-or-type is D -> B -> C -> A -> object and the value of type is B, then super() searches C.

A typical super call:

class C(B):
    def method(self, arg):
        super().method(arg)    # This does the same thing as:
                               # super(C, self).method(arg)

Note

• The default argument of type is class name, C here

• The default argument of object-or_type is first argument of calling method, self here.
