Since you're neither using new-style classes (inheriting from
object) nor multiple inheritance, better use the classic way:

class B(A):
    def __init__(self, something):
        A.__init__(self)
        self.y  = something

IMHO, you could also benefit from looking at an OO python tutorial
since this is a standard approach.
