Hi, I just noticed that in the following environment:
class Base: def __init__(self): ... class Child(Base): pass the following statement: child = Child() would automatically execute the superclass __init__ method. This is exactly what I was looking for - but in the Cookbook, I found several suggestions on how to actively force the invocation of the superclass __init__. Is this behvaiour documented?
