In Python3 this is even easier (for the simplest case):

>>> class Base:
...     def __init__(self, x):
...             print("Hello %s" % x)
...
>>> class ExtendedBase(Base):
...     def __init__(self, x, y):
...             super().__init__(x)
...             print("Hello %s" % y)
...
>>> x = ExtendedBase("foo", "bar")
Hello foo
Hello bar
>>>
