In Source code accessible: Correct use of "new style", How is -> B & <- B getting printed. If I comment "super(A, self).__init__()" , then it wont print "->B" & "<- B". & if I comment "super(B, self).__init__()" , then everything remains same. Whats actually happening???

@ShambhavAgrawal As stated in the section you mentioned, the MRO for this example is C -> A -> B -> object. Whenever a call to super() is made, execution is passed up the MRO chain. So super(A, self).__init__() passes off to B.__init__() (which prints "-> B" & "<- B") and super(B, self).__init__() passes off to object.__init__() (which doesn't print anything).
