Can Super deal with multiple inheritance?

Question

When inheriting from two objects like these

class Foo(object):
  def __init__(self,a):
    self.a=a

class Bar(object):
  def __init__(self,b):
    self.b=b
         


        

Answer 1

Or should I not be trying to do this kind of this in the first place?

Correct. You should be calling only one parent line of __init__s, not a tree. super will use the MRO to do a depth-first search of the parent classes looking for the proper __init__ to call. It will not and should not call all possible __init__s.
