Function Details: super

Description

Returns a proxy object that delegates method calls to a parent or sibling class of type.

Extended Description

The super() function returns a proxy object that allows you to refer to the superclass implicitly. It's commonly used in class inheritance to call methods from a parent or sibling class. When called without arguments, it returns an unbound super object. When called with two arguments, it returns a bound super object; the type parameter should be a subclass of object_or_type. The most common use is in the __init__ method of a subclass to call the __init__ method of the superclass.
