Keyword calling gotcha ?

[Evan Simpson]

Replace "A.__init__(self, parms)" with "apply(A.__init__, (self,), parms)".
"A.__init__" is expecting one fixed parameter plus any number of keyword
parameters.  You're calling it with two fixed parameters, one of which
happens to be a dict obtained from keyword parameters.

Am I missing something ?

>>> class A:
...     def __init__(self, **parms):
...             pass
...
>>> class B(A):
...     def __init__(self, **parms):
...             A.__init__(self,parms)
...
>>> A(a=1,b=2)
<__main__.A instance at 7f85a0>
>>>
>>> B(a=1,b=2)
Traceback (innermost last):
