> It's true that C++ doesn't have this problem, because it has no super keyword and you must explicitly delegate everything
It's emphatically not "having a super keyword" or not having it. That's a red herring. Visual C++ has __super and yet it doesn't suffer from this: it errors with "ambiguous call to overloaded function" when there are multiple candidates.
There's a lot more I could say about this (frankly the issue I outlined just scratch the surface of a deeper problem in Python), but this is diverting the discussion. Nobody even said C++ is simple or somehow easier to learn than Python in the first place; I was just pointing out an insidious issue in Python, and frankly, it could've been done better without any need to emulate C++'s approach at all. (Exercise for the reader: suggest improvements.)
