D-uh?

################################################
class Parent(object):
     def __init__(self):
             print "parent"
             super(Parent, self).__init__()

class Father(Parent):
     def __init__(self):
             print "father"
             super(Father, self).__init__()
             print "D-uh"

class Mother(Parent):
     def __init__(self):
             print "mother"
             super(Mother, self).__init__()
             print "D-oh"

class Child(Father, Mother):
     def __init__(self):
             print "child"
             super(Child, self).__init__()

Child()

This prints
  child
  father
  mother
  parent
  D-oh
  D-uh

Therefore super is a very intelligent function indeed!
