__init__() not called automatically

[Sakesun Roykiattisak]

Does c++ call base class constructor automatically ??
If I'm not wrong, in c++ you also have to call base class constructor 
explicitly.
Python just do not enforce the rule. You can leave it as desire.

BTW, I've once been an C++ expert.  Knowing python kill that skill.
However, I'm not regret.  I have c++ compiler installed, but I don't even
bother validate my last paragraph assertion.  Too disgusting.  ;)
