Use the child class when calling super:

--------------------------------------
class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.id = 1

    def getid(self):
        return self.id

class FooSon(Foo):
    def __init__(self):
        Foo.__init__(self)
        self.id = 2

    def getid(self):
        a = super(FooSon, self).getid()
        b = self.id
        return '%d.%d' % (a,b)

print FooSon().getid()
--------------------------------------
