I believe the recommendation I have seen is something like this

 >>> class C():
	def __init__(self, *arg, **kwds): pass
	
 >>> C(1)
<__main__.C object at 0x00000000034C0F98>

whereas
 >>> object(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
     object(1)
TypeError: object.__new__() takes no parameters

Now, so others have posted, define A and B with super, inheriting from C 
instead of object, and D with super inheriting from A and B, and all 
should go well instead of crashing. But I have not tested this myself. 
Same for ordinary single inheritance chain.
