When calling a method in a superclass, you can/should use the super()
method to get a reference to that class. The python 2 version of that
method takes two parameters, the current class name, and the "self"
instance. The python 3 version takes no arguments. This is better for a
at least three reasons.
First, this version is less verbose because you don't have to specify
any arguments.
Second, you don't have to remember which argument goes where (I always
have to look it up), and you can't accidentally use the wrong class
name, or forget to update it if you copy code from a different class.
Third, this version will work correctly if you use a class decorator.
I don't know exactly how the mechanics of this work, but it is referred
to in a comment on this stackoverflow question:

Starting with version 3, scons imposes using the print function instead
of the print statement in code it processes. To get things building
again, this change moves all python code within gem5 to use the
function version. Another change by another author separately made this
same change to the site_tools and site_init.py files.

they're all in the same place. This also involves having just one
jobfile.py and moving it into the utils directory to avoid
duplication. Lots of improvements to the utility as well.
