super is defined as a built-in function

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/functions.html

but it is a type, shouldn't it be replaced ?

Am already working on the docs for super().

The super() docs have been updated to be more clear.  It is still listed
amongst built-in functions -- that list doesn't separate callables that
are also types, so super() is appropriately listed side-by-side with
tuple().
