Jason, I made some recommendations on this subject in my blog post a few years ago: http://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/super-considered-super/
'''
A more flexible approach is to have every method in the ancestor tree cooperatively designed to accept keyword arguments and a keyword-arguments dictionary, to remove any arguments that it needs, and to forward the remaining arguments using **kwds, eventually leaving the dictionary empty for the final call in the chain.
Each level strips-off the keyword arguments that it needs so that the final empty dict can be sent to a method that expects no arguments at all (for example, object.__init__ expects zero arguments):
class Shape:
def __init__(self, shapename, **kwds):
self.shapename = shapename
super().__init__(**kwds)
class ColoredShape(Shape):
def __init__(self, color, **kwds):
self.color = color
super().__init__(**kwds)
cs = ColoredShape(color='red', shapename='circle')
