Odoo's ORM Inheritance design and implementation

Question

Hello,

odoo has a good support for different kinds of inheritance, but what is the reason about it's implementation?
I really don't know how can I call 'super' in a class that inherits, in Python's terms, from Model, and if this class has a "_inherit = 'my.parent.model'", the super actually calls the class of 'my.parent.model' and not Model. How does this work out?
I went some time through Model class code and its parents and saw some code that maybe manipulate the class inheritance, but is not

*simple example for inheritance :
*
*class *User(models.Model):
_inherit = 'res.users'
is_commercial = fields.Boolean(string= 'is Commercial') // i added this field to res.users table
@api.multi
def *write*(self, values):
*super*(User, self).*write*() // *here i called supper write method*
for partner in self.partner_id: partner.is_commercial = self.is_commercial
here is official odoo documentation docs:

Thank you Ibrahim, but that is not what i'd asked for.
Still,  I think I've managed to get how odoo manages inheritance of Python class implicitly using _inherit. Apparently, is by changing the __bases__ property of the Model classes.
This is at '_build_model' of models.py.
