Correct Attribute Assignment Methodology?

[Tim Cook]

Say I have these classes:

class Parent(object):
"""Parent is abstract"""
a=None
def showA():
return self.a

class Child(Parent):
"""inherits a and showA from Parent"""

def __init__(self,a,b):
self.a=a
self.b=b

def showAB():
return self.a,self.b


class GrandChild(Child):
"""inherits all of the above"""

def __init__(self,a,b,c):
self.a=a
self.b=b
"""should this be Child.__init__(a,b)? or Child.__init__(b)?""
"""if so; why? if not why not?"""
self.c=c

Thanks for answering these very basic questions but I am not certain
about the correct way. I know that in Python, assignment in the
GrandChild class will work but is that correct?
