In python multiple inheritance without creating object for a class i'm able to get class variable

Question

class A:
    print('class A')
    def __init__(self):
        print('---1')
        print('1')
class B:
    print('class B')
    def __init__(self):
        print('sss')


class C(A,B):
    print('222')
    def __init__(self):
        return 11

class D(B,A):
    print('pp')


d1 = D()

I'm getting output:

class A

class B

222

pp

sss

Why 222 is getting print without creating an object for Class C.

You will get a faster response if you use a more descriptive title than "why does this thing happen". See stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask — James Paul Turner

Remove d1 = D() and you'll see that the first three lines are still printed.

This is because unlike function definitions, class definitions are not deferred until the class is constructed. The interpreter instead executes each line as it parses it.
