This is perfectly acceptable, though the new-style way to do this is with 
the slightly messier line:
          super(ColumnCollector,self).__init__()

Same applies here:
          super(ColumnCollector,self).append(v)

What you have now though is effectively the same thing as using the 
super() calls.
