I am still a beginner to Python, but reading that made me think on
impluse, "What happens in case of one class inheriting from two or more
different classes?"
Having written a small test case and testing it, I find that
super().__init__() calls the __init__() of the first of the class in
the list of classes from which the calling class inherits. For example:
class C(A, B):
def __init__(self):
super(C, self).__init__()
calls A's __init__ explicity when an instance of C is instantiated. I
might be missing something. I didn't know that.
