Calling superclass

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,
I try to call the superclass of the ConfigParser object:

class CustomizedConfParser(ConfigParser.SafeConfigParser):
def get(self, section, attribute):
try:
return super(CustomizedConfParser, self).get(section, attribute)
# [...]


but that gives only

return super(CustomizedConfParser, self).get(section, attribute)
TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj

I don't really understand the error message.

Thanks,

Florian

super works only for newstyle-classes. So additionally extend
CustomizedConfParser from object.
