Because you use super wrong. It's not supposed to be called with a 
superclass, but with the current class. And each class needs to call 
super itself in it's own __init__-method.

Like this:


class coucou1( object ):

     def __init__( self
             , a = 1 ):
         self.a = a
         print "init_coucou1"
         super( coucou1, self ).__init__( )

     def print_coucou1( self ):
         print "coucou1"


class coucou2( object ):

     def __init__( self
             , b = 2 ):
         self.b = b
         print "init_coucou2"
         super( coucou2, self ).__init__( )

     def print_coucou2( self ):
         print "coucou2"


class coucou( coucou1, coucou2 ):

     def __init__( self ):
         print "coucou"
         super( coucou, self ).__init__( )

b = coucou()
b.print_coucou1()
b.print_coucou2()
print b.a
print b.b
