[issue28801] configparser: before_get() method of class Interpolation has positional 'parser' parameter that is not used.

Wolfgang Maier added the comment:

Yep, that's roughly what I was trying to explain.

There is not much special here either. RawConfigParser inherits from MutableMapping, which in turn inherits from Mapping, which defines a get method, which RawConfigParser overwrites. The overwritten and the overwriting method *do* have different parameters, but I don't see why that matters.

In general, this does not look like a topic for the Python bug tracker (you are not reporting a bug, but you try to understand how correctly working code does its job), but rather for news:comp.lang.python or a PyCharm mailing list.
