Can I in OOP in Python implement method __init__ in inherited class?

Answer 1

Yes, you can, but if you do it like this, it's completely overwritten, so you can only pass the one legs argument.

Solution:

def __init__(self, name, color, legs):
super().__init__(name, color)
self.legs = legs

First you let Dog's init take all three args.

Then super() invokes the class from which Dog inherited from.

So you're calling Wolf's init with all the args it can handle, and the rest you deal with by hand.

Answer 2

Dog.__init__ takes 2 args but you give 4 args
You should add 2 more parameters and add "super().__init__(name, color)" to call Wolf.__init__

Answer 3

Yes, magic methods work similar to regular methods, if magic isn't defined in a class it is searched from it's super class.
