Will have a closer look on that...

You mean parent.doSomething(self, a, b, c)? Two things bother me with this
aproach: having to name the parent class which make code harder to mantain
and having to type self over and over... I could type inherited(self,
'doSomething')(self, a, b, c) to get rid of the explicit class name, but
it's terrible to read and makes me write self twice for each inherited
method call.
