Because it's documented behaviour?  By default, at initialisation, an
instance of C will go up the method resolution order and only execture
the first __init__() method found.  If you want to change this, you have
to do it explicitely within the __init__ method(s) of the parent
class(es).  E.g. try this (assuming Python 3 syntax):

class A:
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        print("A__init__")

class B:
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        print("B__init__")

class C(A, B):
    pass

C()
