In line with the other answers, there are multiple ways to call super class methods (including the constructor), however in Python-3.x the process has been simplified:
Python-2.x
class A(object):
def __init__(self):
print "world"
class B(A):
def __init__(self):
print "hello"
super(B, self).__init__()
Python-3.x
class A(object):
def __init__(self):
print "world"
class B(A):
def __init__(self):
print "hello"
super().__init__()
super() is now equivalent to super(, self) as per the docs.
