oop - Python multiple inheritance constructor not called when using super() -

consider following code:

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):         super().__init__()         print(self.get_something()) 

and do:

c = c() 

which results in this:

attributeerror: 'c' object has no attribute 'something' 

i suppose happens due constructor of b not being called when using super(). there way achieve correct behavior python 3?

superclasses should use super if subclasses do. if add super().__init__() line , b example should work again.

check method resolution order of c:

>>> c.mro() [__main__.c, __main__.a, __main__.b, builtins.object] 

this article should clear things up.
