How to call super method from grandchild class?

Question

I am working with some code that has 3 levels of class inheritance. From the lowest level derived class, what is the syntax for calling a method 2 levels up the hierarchy,

Answer 1

If you want two levels up, why not just do

class GrandParent(object):                                                       

    def act(self):                                                               
        print 'grandpa act'                                                      

class Parent(GrandParent):                                                       

    def act(self):                                                               
        print 'parent act'                                                       

class Child(Parent):                                                             

    def act(self):                                                               
        super(Child.__bases__[0], self).act()                                    
        print 'child act'                                                        


instance = Child()                                                               
instance.act()

# Prints out
# >>> grandpa act
# >>> child act      

You can add something defensive like checking if __bases__ is empty or looping over it if your middle classes have multiple inheritance. Nesting super doesn't work because the type of super isn't the parent type.
