Python Method overriding, does signature matter?

Question

Lets say I have

class Super():
  def method1():
    pass

class Sub(Super):
  def method1(param1, param2, param3):
      stuff

Is this corr

Answer 1

It will work:

>>> class Foo(object):
...   def Bar(self):
...     print 'Foo'
...   def Baz(self):
...     self.Bar()
... 
>>> class Foo2(Foo):
...   def Bar(self):
...     print 'Foo2'
... 
>>> foo = Foo()
>>> foo.Baz()
Foo
>>> 
>>> foo2 = Foo2()
>>> foo2.Baz()
Foo2

However, this isn't generally recommended. Take a look at S.Lott's answer: Methods with the same name and different arguments are a code smell.
