Hi,
I have a class structure as follows and I would like to invoke the
method A.m() from D.m
class A(object):
def m(self):
class B(A):
def m(self):
class C(A):
def m(self):
class D(B,C):
def m(self):
# Call A.m with super?
I have read http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2/descrintro/ but
I am still stuck.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but it's my best guess:
class A(object):
def m(self):
print "I'm the original"
class B(A):
def m(self):
print 'B class here'
class C(A):
def m(self):
print 'C class here'
class D(B,C):
def m(self):
x = A()
x.m()
temp = D()
temp.m()

Pretty sure you can do this:
class A(object):
def m(self):
class B(A):
def m(self):
class C(A):
def m(self):
class D(B,C):
def m(self):
A.m(self)
I don't think you want to try to use super() in this case.

That works, but when I replace A with something else, I do not get the
grandparent anymore without changing all the method calls. Basically, I
would like to call the method m in the first grandparent of D.

I think the problem you may run into is with the term "first grandparent" -
when you look at the method resolution order of the class D, you will find
that the MRO goes "D, C, B, A"... I think it's going to be difficult to
figure out where the "first grandparent" is in the MRO.
For example:
class A(object):
def m(self):
pass
class B(A):
def m(self):
pass
class C(B):
def m(self):
pass
class D(A):
def m(self):
pass
class E(C,D):
def m(self):
firstgrandparent(E,self).m() #Should call B.m
class F(D,C):
def m(self):
firstgrandparent(F,self).m() # Should call F.m
The mro for class E is going to be "E,C,B,D,A" where as the mro for class F
is going to be "F,D,C,B,A". However, the first grandparent for E should be
B, where as the first grandparent for F should be A.
Because the MRO isn't just a depth first traversal, the term "first
grandparent" gets tricky to define...

Not really. The first grandparent would be the first occurrence in the
list from left to right, which satisfies the requirement that its
shortest path to the current class is 2.
The only problem: How do I get it?

Calling super() twice? F.mro()[1]? But really I don't think it's a good
idea - depending on the *other* classes in your hierarchy, what you call
"grandparent" may be almost anyone.
If you *have* to bypass your parent, it feels like there is something
wrong in the class hierarchy.

class E(C,D):

for cls in E.__mro__:
if cls != E and cls not in E.__bases__:
cls.m(self)
break
.... but it's probably better that you
rethink your class hierarchy.

I suppose you could do a
self.__class__.__bases__[0].__bases__[0]
(With the appropriate error handling buit in..)
But I am not sure if it's a safe assumption to depend on __bases__ returning
the classes in the order you want...

After seeing the implications and the solutions, I will.

Err... This will call A.m(x), not A.m(self). The correct thing to is:
class D(B,C):
def m(self):
A.m(self)
But this doesn't solve the OP's problem, which is to not hard-code the
concrete base class to call (hence the question about how to do this
using super) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
