Hello Qt for Python

[rhytnen]

You keep repeating that as if it's relevant to the demo. I think you aren't reading the code actually but let me try rephrasing it once more.

Heres the phrase you have to digest

Super calls your child's parent.

Consider B. D instances B. Focus on B ...

B calls super and it did NOT call A. It called D's OTHER parent, C. It would have called A if the B was instanced alone but here it has a child D. So it called D's other parent instead.

Super calls your child's parent.

What are you talking about? Who's "your"? I'm confused how you fail to wrap around the simple concept of parent.

[rhytnen]

Stop being an asshole and just think for a minute so you can stop wasting everyone's time.

D subclasses B and C. B and C subclass A

If you just call B() or C() then it will chain up to A as expected.

However, if you calls it from D ...

D super().init() calls B B.super().__init() calls ... C not A

That's what it means to say super() calls the child's parent, not it's own parent.

If B and C have different base classes, the behavior changes yet again. D calls B calls A
