Returns a proxy object that delegates calls to a parent class
super() performance and internals
Performance characteristics and CPython implementation details.
python
# super() internals import dis def using_super(): pass # Bytecode analysis dis.dis(using_super) # Check if it's truly built-in import builtins print(f"\nsuper is builtin: {hasattr(builtins, 'super')}") print(f"Type: {type(builtins.super)}")
Understanding the internal implementation helps optimize hot paths in performance-critical code.
