21111	generic.View.__init__ should call super	glin@…	gmeno	"Method {{{__init__}}} of class django.views.base.View should contain:

{{{
#!python
    super(View, self).__init__()
}}}

Even though object's {{{__init__()}}} method is seemingly no-op, it should still be called, because:

 1. It has important role in multiple inheritance (and that can happen in generic views easily) 
 2. Generally it's good practice to call it - for example you can later introduce an intermediate class in the class hierarchy."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Generic views	1.5	Normal	wontfix	afraid-to-commit	Daniele Procida	Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
