Super without brackets

Used when a call to super does not have brackets and thus is not an actual call and does not work as expected.

Noncompliant Code:

Copy
class Soup:
    @staticmethod
    def temp():
        print("Soup is hot!")

class TomatoSoup(Soup):
    @staticmethod
    def temp():
        super.temp()  # [super-without-brackets]
        print("But tomato soup is even hotter!")

Compliant Code:

Copy
class Soup:
    @staticmethod
    def temp():
        print("Soup is hot!")

class TomatoSoup(Soup):
    @staticmethod
    def temp():
        super().temp()
        print("But tomato soup is even hotter!")
