Force child class to call parent method when overriding it

Question

I am curious whether there is a way in Python to force (from the Parent class) for a parent method to be called from a child class when it is being overridden.

All you need is super.

With it, your code could look like this:

class Parent(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.someValue = 1

    def start(self):
        self.someValue += 1


class Child(Parent):
    def start(self):
        # put code here
        super().start()
        # or here
