When creating an instance, Python will call __init__. In the first example
there was only an __init__ method in the base class, so that one was used.
On the second example, there were __init__ methods on both classes, but
since you instantiated the subclass, the subclass's __init__ method was
executed.

Subclass methods have precedence over base class methods. If you want the
__init__ method of the base class in the second example to be called, you
can either remove the subclass __init__ method or call
super(TestConstructor, self).__init__() in that method. That will call the
base class's __init__.
