[Python] Explicitly declared protocol on child fails with "Protocols cannot be instantiated"

Please help me understand why this code fails.

from typing import Protocol

class Base:
pass

class MyProto(Protocol):
def hello(self) -> None:
pass

class Child(Base, MyProto):
def __init__(self) -> None:
super().__init__() # TypeError: Protocols cannot be instantiated

def hello(self) -> None:
return print("hello")

Child()


Error:

TypeError: Protocols cannot be instantiated


I understand that a protocol should not be instantiated, but isn't this the responsibility of the language to avoid this error?
Or is there another way to explicitly implement a Protocol on a child class?

Yes, we can avoid super and it will work:

class Child(Base, MyProto):
def __init__(self) -> None:
Base.__init__(self)


But it's more common (and easier) to use super.

It feels like something is broken in the language.

I am using Python 3.9.
