Take a look! What is the effect of the code "list.__init__([ ])"?

Question

class Mylist(list):
def __init__(self,a_name):
list.__init__([ ])
self.name=a_name

Answer 1

It lets you initialize a variable, with the initialized variable having a value of an empty list

Answer 2

@James I mean even though there is no "list.__init__([ ])", I am still able to use methods like append,extend...etc

Answer 3

@Pegasus but if I delete that line of the code, it make no difference when I give it to a variable.

Answer 4

I am still not clear about that.

Answer 5

@James Could you explain that to me?
