Alternatively, if the code he did quote is accurate, he may have not indented 
the definition of __init__. Example:

  class LineLogic(object):
      ''' doc string
      '''

  def __init__(self):
      ...

This is legal, but wrong. It will result in LineLogic having the default 
initialisation i.e. nothing, as the __init__ function is not part of the class.

But yes, this would all be clearer had the OP posted the code instead of a tiny 
out of context snippet.
