__special__ methods are an implementation detail that you should not use  
explicitely; instead of obj.__setattr__(name, value) use setattr(obj,  
name, value).

And building a list of None just to discard it isn't good style (that is:  
don't use a generator
expression / list comprehension just by its side effect if you don't want  
the resulting list object)

So I'd write the above as:

for name in dir(B):
   if name.startswith("b_"):
     setattr(self, name[2:], getattr(B, name))
