There are two common ways to use the
super
built-in:super(C, self)
, as was required for Python 2super()
without arguments, as described by PEP 3135, adopted in 2007 for Python 3.0Currently there is a mixture of the two forms; find them with
git grep "super([^)]"
orgit grep "super()"
. This PR refactors most of them to the PEP 3135 convention. This convention is cleaner and enforces the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) rule.The two exceptions of
super(cls, type)
that pass a type to the second argument are in numpy/ma/core.py:@dtype.setter
@shape.setter
These two instances cannot use a bare
super()
, and are not touched in this PR.
