Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

FWIW, I did a further update to the super docs to clarify that parent
classes are search in single inheritance models and that both parent and
siblings are searched in multiple inheritance models.  Made the concept
more concrete by relating pointing to the __mro__ attribute and by
comparing it to getattr() which also uses the __mro__.
