Nothing, unless you call it in your constructor.

class Base(object):
 def __init__(self):
  print "Base constructor called"

# without calling the base class constructor
class C(Base):
 def __init__(self):
  print "C constructor called"

# call the base class constructor using super
class D(Base):
 def __init__(self):
  super(D, self).__init__()
  print "D constructor called"

c = C()
d = D()
