Call overridden method of parent class with child class object in python

Question

I have came around this question during an interview:

class Parent(object):
    def A(self):
        print \"in A\"
class Child(Parent):
    def A(self):
                


        

Answer 1

Use a super call passing the type of child class and the desired instance object which is just C:

super(type(C), C).A() # of the form super(class, obj) where class == Child and obj == C
