Solved a problem that has been around for a very long time in how C++
methods are virtualized for overriding in derived Python classes.

Previously we couldn't do it for methods that needed to also exist in
the base class wrappers such that they could be called normally. (The
reasons are long and complex, but suffice it to say that it was due to
mixing C++'s dynamic dispatch, and Python's runtime lookup of the
method attributes resulting in endless recursion of function calls.)

finally been solved I have replaced all the base_Whatever() methods
with the real Whatever() method as well as a simple wrapper named
base_Whatever that is marked as deprecated. So now instead of writing
your overridden methods like this:
your overridden methods like this::
def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
# do something here
return self.base_OnBeginDocument(start, end)
You can do it the *right way* like this:
You can now call the base class method the normal way, like this::
def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
# do something here
return Printout.OnBeginDocument(self, start, end)
Or like this with super()::
def OnBeginDocument(self, start, end):
# do something here
return super(MyPrintout, self).OnBeginDocument(start, end)
Note that the old way still works, but you will get a
DeprecationWarning from calling base_OnBeginDocument. The classes
affected by this are:
