Python inheritance

class A: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name class B (A): def __init__(self): From here do I use super()? And how would one properly instanciate

Each subclass inherits all methods from a superclass automatically. If you write a method with the same name in a subclass, you override the method just in the subclass. If you want to add some instructions to a method of a subclass but you want to save the behavior of the superclass's method, you must use the .super(). .super() copies all the codes in a method virtually. In your example, you shouldn't write __init__ again unless you want to override it.
