Python 3

 
class CoolMixin(object):   
 
    def do_it(self):   
        return super(CoolMixin,    
                  self).do_it()   
class CoolMixin:    def do_it(self):        return super().do_it()

 

Specifying the class name and instance is optional, thereby making your code DRY and less prone to errors while refactoring.
