Thanks for the feedback, there was one issue, I was using old style
classes, so to be accurate and have the example work:

class A(object):
    def __init__(self, a,b):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b

class B(A):
    def __init__(self, a, b, newVar):
        super(B, self).__init__(a,b)
        self.var = var

need the 'object' to instance a object in the class.

Thanks again.
