There will always be classes that don't call super() init, sometimes for 
efficiency and sometimes to preserve their internal invariants.

Also, __init__() isn't the only method affected.  For a perfectly cooperative 
class, all of the methods would need to call super().

See how to handle this in the "How to Incorporate a Non-cooperative Class" 
section of: https://rhettinger.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/super-considered-super/
