Multiple inheritance in python?

What does this print out? Can someone also trace the flow of logic? Also , the program prints

C.y

class A(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.a = 1
    def x(self):
        print "A.x"
    def y(self):
        print "A.y"
    def z(self):
        print "A.z"

class B(A):
    def __init__(self):
        A.__init__(self)
        self.a = 2
        self.b = 3
    def y(self):
        print "B.y"
    def z(self):
        print "B.z"

class C(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.a = 4
        self.c = 5
    def y(self):
        print "C.y"
    def z(self):
        print "C.z"

class D(C, B):
    def __init__(self):
        C.__init__(self)
        B.__init__(self)
        self.d = 6
    def z(self):
        print "D.z"


obj = D()
obj.y()
