When looking for documentation on the correct usage on super (http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html?highlight=super#super), the documentation links to this rather will written blog post http://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/super-considered-super/ by Mr. Hettinger.

I think there is value in merging that blog post into a HOWTO and including in the official documentation.

I'm more than willing to create a patch if this is considered a good idea.

@Raymond what is your opinion on this proposal?

I'll translate it into a How-to guide when I get a chance.  Right now, the content is in great shape, but the tone is somewhat "blog-posty".  For now, the external link will have to suffice.

I opened another doc issue about super(): #37176

I think for now I'll leave this as an external supplement to the documentation.  My previous experience with moving a personal blog post into the main docs didn't go so well.
