Understanding Python super() for classes
#1
Good day, Dear Pythonistas

Could you, please, explain in a simple way why super() is used for classes sometimes. I saw many examples dealing with single inheritance and multiple inheritances, it is explained that this approach could make the whole structure more manageable, but what are the conceptual framework and practical applications? (Is it typical for a large project or what?)
