Would an expanded example also help?  

I'm not sure I like my own wording yet, but ... I propose it as a 
straw man.

"""super returns the next parent class[1]

class A(object): pass

class B(A):
    def meth(self, arg):
        super(B, self).meth(arg)

class C(A): pass

class D(B, C): pass

d=D()
d.meth()

In this case, the super(B, self) call will actually return a 
reference to class C.  Class C is not a parent of class B, but it 
is the next parent for this particular instance d of class B.


[1] Actually, a super class mimicing the parent class.
