#In line with the other answers, there are multiple ways to call super class methods 

#(including the constructor), however in Python-3.x the process has been simplified:

​

Python-3.x

​

class A(object):

 def __init__(self):

   print("world")

​

class B(A):

 def __init__(self):

   print("hello")

   super().__init__()

Python-2.x

​

In python 2.x, you have to call the slightly more verbose version super(<containing classname>, self), which is equivalent to super()as per the docs.

​

class A(object):

 def __init__(self):

   print "world"

​

class B(A):

 def __init__(self):

   print "hello"

   super(B, self).__init__()
