Why would you use super() like this? What does it actually do?

Question

class Myclass:
def __init__(self, item):
super().__init__()

Answer 1

Thanks everyone, for the help and answers. Deleted the super() line and the code is stil going 100%...

Answer 2

I don’t think it makes any sense to use `super` when there is no inheritance of class.

Answer 3

agree with o.gak , super() is to be used only if you want to call the properties/ methods of the parent class. Without a parent class it is purposeless

Answer 4

It should be like this.

class MyClass(ParentCls):
def __init__(self, prop_of_parent, prop_of_mine):
super().__init__(prop_of_parent)
self. prop_of_mine = prop_of_mine

Answer 5

There is NO parent class. Myclass is the only class in the code...

Answer 6

I know that one class can inherit from another class, but this is not the case.... See the fulk code

Answer 7

Actually all classes in Python inherit from class Object how I remember. So... This class in any case should have parents.
Or do i remember it wrong?
