super3 is Python3's PEP3135 magic super() for Python2 and also Python3.
Unlike previous implementations (e.g. http://code.activestate.com/recipes/286195-selfsuper/)
of the implicit super() pattern this one is syntax compatible with Python 3 if
you from super3 import super3 as super.
Infact, we go one further than Python3's super(). It even works inside a decorator like this
def with_super_result(func):
def decorated(self, *args, **kwargs):
return func(self, getattr(super(), func.__name__)())
return decorated
Tested in CPython 2.7.3 (~20x slower than normal) and PyPy 1.8-2.7.2 (~100x slower than normal.)
Python3 is also supported but it uses entirely the same code as Python2.
Really it should be taking the shortcut of grabbing the __cell__ freevar out of func.__closure__.
