Invoke a superclass method from a subclass constructor

[Prasad, Ramit]

>You should be passed super the current class you want the super class of, not the type of the super class. So it should be:
>super(B, self).log('system') # Notice that it passed class B

Ugh, apologies for the poor English; my tea has not kicked in.

That first line would be more understandable as:  'You should pass the current class (B) you want the super class of, not the type of the super class (A) itself. So it should be:'

To clarify, by passing A to super it retrieves the definition for the base class (object) which does not have the function you are trying to access.
