I suspect that the super() use is the only issue preventing it from working
with Python 2.7.  I actually started from an example designed to work with
Python 2, but simplified the super() call to use the Python 3 specific
notation.   I could try to change that - but I am moving away from Python 2
and would likely not test it regularly with it.
