Editing Method overriding (section)

===Python===
In [[Python (programming language)|Python]], when a subclass contains a method that overrides a method of the superclass, you can also call the superclass method by calling {{Python|super(Subclass, self).method}}<ref name="python-3-super">{{Python|super().method}} in Python 3 - see https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#super {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181026035007/https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#super |date=2018-10-26 }}</ref> instead of {{Python|self.method}}. 
Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
class Thought:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        print("I'm a new object of type Thought!")
    def message(self) -> None:
        print("I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.")

class Advice(Thought):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super(Advice, self).__init__()
    def message(self) -> None:
        print("Warning: Dates in calendar are closer than they appear")
        super(Advice, self).message()

t = Thought()
# "I'm a new object of type Thought!"
t.message()
# "I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

a = Advice()
# "I'm a new object of type Thought!"
a.message()
# "Warning: Dates in calendar are closer than they appear"
# "I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

# ------------------
# Introspection:

isinstance(t, Thought)
# True

isinstance(a, Advice)
# True

isinstance(a, Thought)
# True
