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

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

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

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

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

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

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?
