Perhaps this is a silly question, but why doesn't this code work in python 2.7?

```
from ConfigParser import ConfigParser

class MyParser(ConfigParser):
    def __init__(self, cpath):
        super(MyParser, self).__init__()
        self.configpath = cpath
        self.read(self.configpath)

```

It fails on:

```
TypeError: must be type, not classobj

```

on the `super()` line.
