Does c++ call base class constructor automatically ?? If I'm not wrong, in c++ you also have to call base class constructor explicitly. Python just do not enforce the rule. You can leave it as desire.
BTW, I've once been an C++ expert. Knowing python kill that skill. However, I'm not regret. I have c++ compiler installed, but I don't even bother validate my last paragraph assertion. Too disgusting. ;) Sriek wrote: >Tim pointed out rightly that i missed out the most crucial part of my >question. >i should have said that __init__() is not called automatically only for >the inheritance hierarchy. we must explicitly call all the base class >__init__() fuctions explicitly. > i wanted a reason for that. >Thanks Tim. > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
