do we really need a "super().__init__" in attributes.py ?

I'm little confused with this

Without seeing what this refers to, I'd guess that this code is in an override of the "__init__" method. In that case, using "super().__init__" allows you to call the parent version of the same method so you don't have to repeat the code it already has.

If that's not it, please provide a link to the course page and elaborate a bit on the question.
