python __init__ method in inherited class

Question

I would like to give a daughter class some extra attributes without having to explicitly call a new method. So is there a way of giving the inherited class an __init__

Answer 1

As far as I know that's not possible, however you can call the init method of the superclass, like this:

class inheritedclass(initialclass):
    def __init__(self):
        initialclass.__init__(self)
        self.attr3 = 'three'
