About super and mult-inherit of python class

Question

I use Python 3.6.3

I have following code:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        print("init parent")

class PP:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        print("init PP")


class Child(PP, Parent):
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        print("init child")
        super().__init__()

exp=Child()

I expect:

init child
init PP
init parent

but I got:

init child
init PP

when I try to print the MRO，I got the correct answer.

print(exp.__class__.mro())

[<class '__main__.Child'>, <class '__main__.PP'>, <class '__main__.Parent'>, <class 'object'>]

Why is there no print of parent?

Answer 1

Python doesn't automatically call __init__ of Parent. You have to do it explicitly with super().__init__() in PP:

class Parent:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        print("init parent")

class PP:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        print("init PP")
        super().__init__()


class Child(PP, Parent):
    def __init__(self, **kw):
        print("init child")
        super().__init__()

exp = Child()

Now the output is:

init child
init PP
init parent
