refering to base classes

[Chaz Ginger]

It is not a sort of reference to the class, it is *the class itself*.

A reference by any other name still smells as sweet! lol.

I suppose "this" refers to the use of super() ? If so, I wouldn't say
it's "superior", but it can be helpful with complex inheritence scheme

.... which aren't anywhere in sight. Don't start using super() until you
need diamond shape inheritance (not counting object as base) and
can be sure that *all* involved classes use super().

While I don't agree with the word "harmful", googling for "python",
"super" and "harmful" will give you deeper insights to this (and
GvR's reaction, too).
