How do I initialize the base (super) class in Python?
<p>In Python, consider I have the following code:</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; class SuperClass(object):
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x


&gt;&gt;&gt; class SubClass(SuperClass):
    def __init__(self, y):
        self.y = y
        # how do I initialize the SuperClass __init__ here?
</code></pre>

<p>How do I initialize the <code>SuperClass __init__</code> in the subclass? I am following the Python tutorial and it doesn't cover that. When I searched on Google, I found more than one way of doing. What is the standard way of handling this?</p>
