How do I rename a superclass's method in python?

Question

I have a superclass with the method run().

I make a subclass of the superclass that I would like to have its own run() method. But, I want to keep the functionality of the old run method in a method called oldrun() on this new object.

How would I go about doing this in Python?

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

class Base(object):
    def run(self):
        print("Base is running")

class Derived(Base):
    def run(self):
        print("Derived is running")

    def oldrun(self):
        super().run()
