secondCL over-rides the __init__ method of mainCL and prevents it from
running.
If you want to overload a method, you have to ensure that the superclass
method is called. Do this instead:
class secondCL(mainCL):
def __init__(self, newID):
super().__init__(newID)
self.pathID = self.path2 + "/id" + str(newID)
