Aye, you are completely right. And a super()-related issue with the TTYUI has been
logged as https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/issues/23. It concerns
python 2.6 only.

The fix is in
https://github.com/spaetz/offlineimap/commit/344b2f0b7a084855ebce0aad85fe7a7d0dfd2b15
which is in the next branch and will be in 6.5.2.1 (or whatever it will
be called). Please do report more python 2.6 breakages.
