I found the solution in the Webware source code: invoke the method by
calling it as a method of the base class. My apologies for the
unnecessary email. 

>>> class Foo:
...       def frob(self):
...           print "Spam"
... 
>>> class Bar(Foo):
...       def frob(self):
...           print "Eggs"
...           Foo.frob(self)
... 
>>> a = Bar()
>>> a.frob()
Eggs
Spam
