I have been working in django CBV but i am stuck and cannot reslove it i also googled that thing but nothing much i get it sometimes in classes we use super

class ArticleCounterRedirectView(RedirectView):

permanent = False
query_string = True
pattern_name = 'article-detail'

def get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs):
    article = get_object_or_404(Article, pk=kwargs['pk'])
    article.update_counter()
    return super().get_redirect_url(*args, **kwargs)

class ArticleCounterRedirectView(RedirectView):

permanent = False
query_string = True
pattern_name = 'article-detail'

def get_redirect_url(self, *args, **kwargs):
    article = get_object_or_404(Article, pk=kwargs['pk'])
    article.update_counter()
    return super(ArticleCounterRedirectView,self).get_redirect_url(*args, **kwargs)

super().get_redirect_url(*args, **kwargs)

And 

super(ArticleCounterRedirectView,self).get_redirect_url(*args, **kwargs)

Both do the same thing in this case essentially,

The first one is the new syntax in python 3. If you want to explicitly bypass the MRO then you can use the second method to do that.

Hope you understood.
