Inheritance in Python for variable that's not parameter

Question

In Python, I'm using inheritance for a class. The initial init for the main parent class is below:

def __init__(self, Date = None):
    self.Date = Date
    self.DatabaseClass = Database()
    self.Connection = self.DatabaseClass.databaseConnection()

I've inherited the class into the child class, but am wondering what the correct approach would be to inherit DatabaseClass and Connection variables, i.e., what would be in def __init__?

What inheritance do you mean? I only see composition

Could you show the definition of the classes?

You just need to call the inherited __init__ method from your own class's __init__ method.

class Child(Parent):
    def __init__(self, Date=None, other, arguments):
        super().__init__(Date)
        # ...
