The problem is, Python's super is not intuitive.

And i'd like to use it. I really would! Because, yes, you
are correct when you say: "super is the proper way to do
inherence". But for some reason, i just cannot get it to
work reliably.

And reading the docs doesn't help.

Seriously, i find it difficult to believe no one else has
been stumped by Python's super. I have used super in other
languages with no issues -- everything is intuitive -- but
in Python, my favorite language, forget about it.

So now, i've got all this Python code with explicit
inheritance, and it works, but it just feels ugly.
