I tried this, too:

>>> class C(P):
    def __init__(self):
        super(__class__).__init__(self)
        print("I am a member of class C")

        
>>> x=C()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#30>", line 1, in <module>
    x=C()
  File "<pyshell#29>", line 3, in __init__
    super(__class__).__init__(self)
TypeError: must be type, not C
