How to correctly init this IndexedArchiveFile

class IndexedFile:
  def __init__(self, id:int, data: bytes, parent: IndexedFile=None):
    ...

class IndexedBinaryFile(IndexedFile):
  HEADER_SIZE = 4
  def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    if len(self.data) < self.HEADER_SIZE:
      raise ValueError()
    ...

class ArchiveFile:
  HEADER_SIZE = 8
  def __init__(self, data):
    self.content = data[8:]
    ...

class IndexedArchiveFile(IndexedBinaryFile, ArchiveFile):
  def __init__(???):
    ???

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Without super()

You instead do ClassName.__init__(self, ...)
