There's a typo here -- or in the class name (Thing or Thingy?).

The following code runs without a hitch with Python 2.2:


class _ObjectStore(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.blah = 23

class _SpecificThingyStore(_ObjectStore):
    def __init__(self):
        super(_SpecificThingyStore, self).__init__()
        self.blah2 = 45

a = _SpecificThingyStore()


so I wonder if you have correctly reproduced your problem in this
toy-sized example?
