super, object and type?

[ssecorp]

>>super(objec t, type)
<super: <class 'object'>, <type object>>

>>super(type, object)

<super: <class 'type'>, <type object>>

>>>

how can both work?

they can't both be the superclass of each other right? or is it some
sort of mutually recursive definition?

>>help(object )

Help on class object in module __builtin__:

class object
| The most base type

>>help(type)

Help on class type in module __builtin__:

class type(object)
| type(object) -the object's type
| type(name, bases, dict) -a new type

Re: super, object and type?

object and type both are instances of type. Yes, type is an instance of itself.

type inherits object.
