Consider the following code:
class A(object):
def __init__(self):
pass
class B(object):
def __init__(self):
self.something = \'blue\'
As others have mentioned, the method resolution order is key here. If you want to call multiple superclass constructors, then you will have to call them directly.
class A(object):
def __init__(self):
pass
class B(object):
def __init__(self):
self.something = 'blue'
def get_something(self):
return self.something
class C(A,B):
def __init__(self):
A.__init__(self)
B.__init__(self)
print(self.get_something())
Superclasses should use super if their subclasses do. If you add the super().__init__()
line into A and B your example should work again.
Check the method resolution order of C:
>>> C.mro()
[__main__.C, __main__.A, __main__.B, builtins.object]
This article should clear things up.
