mutlifile inheritance problem

[Peter Cacioppi]

This is a very old topic, but here is a trick for single inheritance. (The problem you allude to isn't restricted to multiple inheritance).

Any class with a single parent simply defines this function.


    def mySuper(self) : 
        return super(self.__class__, self)
      
And then any parent function be referenced like
    self.mySuper().foo()

This includes __init__.
