In fairness to python 2, the problems only arise when using imp.reload. 
When imp.reload isn't involved, this works for Python 2 or 3:

    super(ChildClass, self).__init__(*args to ctor*)

And if using only Python 3:

    super().__init__(*args to ctor*)

However, this is scant comfort. imp.reload is so useful during development.
