The problem is that you're not calling the parent class' __init__::

  class two(one):
      def __init__(self):
          one.__init__(self)
          ...

You can also use super() to do that, but I do that so rarely I forget 
the syntax.  Of course, that's no big deal, since::

  python
  >>> help(super)

is always to the rescue, but I'm lazy.
