That's not at all what Python does. It linearizes the inheritance hierarchy for the purposes of superclass attribute lookup, in an attempt to solve some aspects of the diamond prob…

That, and: I forgot to mention that not using the super builtin can also lead to unintentionally calling a method twice or more for the same base class in a diamond situation (note…

Now your class C can't necessarily be used in a multiple inheritance hierarchy with some other class D, and a class E that inherits from C and D, as C hardcodes what its parents ar…

The fuel for the large majority of the fusion energy in a thermonuclear weapon is lithium deuteride, a solid. But here's some theories now how this works, one of which is changing …
