What it does

Checks for super().other_method() calls where the method called on super() differs from the enclosing method's own name.

Why is this bad?

Calling a different method on super() is usually a copy-paste mistake; when it's intentional, it tends to surprise readers and break cooperative multiple inheritance.

Example

def write(self, vals):
    return super().create(vals)

Use instead:

def write(self, vals):
    return super().write(vals)
