Thank you. It seemed odd that the calling class name is used to call the
parent but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. super in
it self is a function that returns the parent of a given class. So it is
logical to include class in arguments list.

Hello,

This has nothing to do with Django; super() is a Python built-in to manage calling/accessing attributes of the super class taking in account that Python supports multiple inheritance.
