Why do they need to share the same parameter? Part of cooperative design is that you can't really design each class in a vacuum; you need to take the other classes they might get combined with into account. Perhaps you can extract that parameter into another base class that is shared by both: class Root: def __init__(self, *, param1, **kwds): self.param1 = param1 super().__init__(**kwds) class A(Root): def __init__(self, *, param2, **kwds): self.param2 = param2 super().__init__(**kwds) class B(Root): def __init__(self, *, param3, **kwds): self.param3 = param3 super().__init__(**kwds) class X(A, B): pass A and B can both depend on having param1 without stomping on each other because they both inherit Root which requires it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
