```python from System import Object class L1(Object): __namespace__ = 'TestNS' def __init__(self): super().__init__() print('42') class L2(L1): __namespace__ = 'TestNS' o = L2() # 42 is not printed ``` ## Workaround Explicitly redefine `__init__` in `L2`: ```python class L3(L1): __namespace__ = 'TestNS' def __init__(self): super().__init__() o = L3() # prints '42' ```
