This code causes  an error:

    foox = FooX()

    #foox.method_x("I", "AM", "X")
    print
    fooy.method_x("ESTOY", "Y", "!")
    print
    fooz.method_x(100, 200, 300)

    def method_x(self, a, b, c):
        super(MyMixin, self).method_x(a, b, c)
        print "MyMixin.method_x(%s, %s, %s, %s)" % (repr(self),
repr(a), repr(b), repr(c))
