Summary
This documents an existing problem with the way
super()
is implemented that became evident while I was implementing__init_subclass__
, where when used inside a classmethod it defers to the ancestor of the class object itself (i.e.type
), rather than parent classes it inherits from.This is probably an issue with super itself not treating the second argument differently when its a type in the way that CPython does.
Testing
I've verified this against CPython versions 3.8, 3.10, and 3.12.
