Would list.__init__(self) also work when inheriting from list?

@Wolf: yes, but that'd preclude multiple inheritance, e.g. using this class as a base together with another class. list might not be the next class in the MRO in such cases.

Thanks for pointing on that! The short answer I already found here: Subclassing Built-in Types. MRO I hope I correctly resolved to Method Resolution Order.

@Wolf: yes, sorry. MRO stands for Method Resolution Order, the order in which base classes are searched to resolve a requested method.
