Inheritance and Overriding __init__ in python

Question

I was reading \'Dive Into Python\' and in the chapter on classes it gives this example:

class FileInfo(UserDict):
    \"store file metadata\"
    def __init_         


        

Answer 1

Yes, you must call __init__ for each parent class. The same goes for functions, if you are overriding a function that exists in both parents.
