If you understand object-oriented-programming, then this will make sense:

    The __init__ method is the constructor for instances of a class.  It
    is not required, but the situations in which a constructor is not
    needed are few and unusual.

If you don't know object-oriented-programming, then I'd suggest you put 
that high on your list of things to learn.  It's a valuable tool.
