Don't use old style classes. If you are planning to use 'super' then you
must use new-style classes, so use 'object' as a base class here.

If you aren't worried about diamond shaped multiple inheritance
hierarchies then just use:
class B ( A ):
def __init__( self, something ):
A.__init__(self)
self.y = something
If you are then:
class B ( A ):
def __init__( self, something ):
super(B, self).__init__()
self.y = something
When you use super you usually just want the current class and current
instance as parameters. Putting that together:
>>> class A(object):
def __init__( self ):
self.x = 0
>>> class B ( A ):
def __init__( self, something ):
super(B, self).__init__()
self.y = something
>>> obj = B(3)
>>> obj.x
0
>>> obj.y
3
>>>
