trouble using Python super

So I'm currently learning Python's basics, using the book Python Crash Course. I'm on the chapter about classes, more precisely on the sub-class part of it. So first up, here's my code:

class Car():
"""une representation simpliste de voiture"""

def __init__(self, constructeur, annee, modele):
    self.constructeur = constructeur
    self.modele = modele
    self.annee = annee
    self.odometer_reading = 0

def descriptive_name(self):
    long_name = str(self.annee) + ' ' + self.constructeur + ' ' + self.modele
    return long_name.title()

def update_odometer(self, mileage):
    """set odometer reading"""

    if mileage >= self.odometer_reading:
        self.odometer_reading = mileage
    else:
        print("You can't roll back and odometer!\n")

def increment_odometer(self, miles):
    self.odometer_reading += miles

def read_odometer(self):
    """print mileage"""
    print("this car has " + str(self.odometer_reading) + " miles on it.\n")
class ElectricCar(Car):
def __init__(self, constructeur, annee, modele):
    super().__init__(constructeur, annee, modele)
    pass
my_tesla = ElectricCar('tesla', 'model s', 2016)

So, with this code I get this error message:

super().init(constructeur, annee, modele) TypeError: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

The code I use is the same as in the book (except the french part, that are in english in the book). I tried with and without the "pass" of the "super()" and tried giving "super" the arguments "self" and "Car".

I'm using Python 3 and I'm on linux.

Thanks in advance for any answers :)

The super() syntax is Python 3 If you're still using Python 2, you need super(ElectricCar, self)
