How to override a superclass __init__ argument?

Question

How do I override the super class attribute? In the example below, I want to use some other value for name.

class A:
    def __init__(self,name):
        self.name=name

class B(A):
    def __init__(self, config, address, phone):
        super(B, self).__init__(name)
        self.address=address
        self.phone=phone
        self.config=config
        self.name=self.config.name + "__value_only"

Answer 1

Just pass the desired "other" value to the super(...).__init__(). Also, name in your example is not a class, but an instance attribute:

class B(A):
    def __init__(self, config, address, phone):
        super(B, self).__init__(config.name + "__value_only")
        self.address=address
        self.phone=phone
        self.config=config
