No he was asking about calling the supercall version of the same 
method. Here is the post:

-------------
class Child(Parent):
    def somemethod( self, bla ):
        Parent.somemethod(self,bla)
-------------

It uses somemethod() in both child and parent.

And that is what I am saying is a very common, and desirable, pattern.

I may be coming across a bit strong on this one but it is such a 
fundamentally important feature of OOP that I feel on a list like tutor
it is important to make it clear that this is not only correct behaviour 
but is very common in practice.
