I thought such kind of thing should be writted like:
class A(object):
     def __init__(self, blank=False, editable=True, name='foo'):
             self.blank = blank
             self.editable = editable
             self.name = name

class B(A):
  def __init__(self, blank=True, editable=True, name='foo'):
    super(B, self).__init__(blank, editable, name)
