super behavior

[TP]

Hi,

Hereafter is an example using super.
At the execution, we obtain:

coucou
init_coucou2
coucou1
coucou2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "essai_heritage.py", line 34, in <module>
    print b.a
AttributeError: 'coucou' object has no attribute 'a'

Why Python does not enter in the __init__ method of coucou1?
If I replace the two lines using "super" by the two following lines, it
works perfectly:

        coucou1.__init__( self )
        coucou2.__init__( self )

##########
class coucou1( object ):

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

    def print_coucou1( self ):
        print "coucou1"


class coucou2( object ):

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

    def print_coucou2( self ):
        print "coucou2"


class coucou( coucou1, coucou2 ):

    def __init__( self ):

        print "coucou"
        super( coucou1, self ).__init__( )
        super( coucou2, self ).__init__( )

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