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

You can do this by following ways

class Grandparent(object):
    def my_method(self):
        print "Grandparent"

class Parent(Grandparent):
    def my_other_method(self):
        print "Parent"

class Child(Parent):
    def my_method(self):
        print "Inside Child"
        super(Child, self).my_method()

In this case Child will call base class my_method but base class my_method is not present there so it will call base class of parent class my_method in this way we can call my_method function of grandparent

Another Way

class Grandparent(object):
    def my_method(self):
        print "Grandparent"

class Parent(Grandparent):
    def my_other_method(self):
        print "Parent"

class Child(Parent):
    def my_method(self):
        print "Inside Child"
        super(Parent, self).my_method()

In this way we are directly calling function base class my_method function of the parent class

Another way but not pythonic way

class Grandparent(object):
    def my_method(self):
        print "Grandparent"

class Parent(Grandparent):
    def my_other_method(self):
        print "Parent"

class Child(Parent):
    def my_method(self):
        print "Inside Child"
        Grandparent.my_method()

In this way we are directly calling my_method function by specifying the class name.
