   Could you please provide a very short program that shows the problem? It sounds like it could be a bug in the RapydScript-NG Python-to-JavaScript transpiler. Bruce

   class Ball: pass
   class Orb(Ball):
       def __init__(self): super().__init__()
   ball = Orb()

   Thanks. I found and fixed a bug in my code, so that if you replace "super()" with "Ball" the program works. As for the use of super(), that does seem to be a RapydScript-NG issue, which I'll report.

   Actually, to be compatible with true Python, the statement should be Ball.init(self).

   As for RapydScript-NG, the response to my question was this:

   "super is not supported in RS as it is a keyword in javascript with different semantics. See
   https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/super"

   So RapydScript-NG isn't going to change. There are limits to how close RapydScript-NG (and therefore GlowScript) can go in turning a Python program into a JavaScript program.
