The essay "Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2"
http://www.python.org/2.2.1/descrintro.html says in section
"Overriding the __new__ method":
<quote>
This class isn't very useful (it's not even the right way to go about
unit conversions) but it shows how to extend the constructor of an
immutable type. If instead of __new__ we had tried to override
__init__, it wouldn't have worked:
>>> class inch(float): ... "THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!"
... def __init__(self, arg=0.0):
... float.__init__( self, arg*0.0254)
... >>> print inch(12) 12.0 >>> </quote>
Well, I tried this with Python 2.2.1 and it _does_ work:
No, it doesn't.
piglet:~$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Sep 7 2002, 14:34:30)
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information. class inch(float): ... def __init__(self, arg=0.0):
... float.__init__( self, arg*0.0254)
... print inch(12) 12.0
So one inch is one meter?
Python 2.3.3 (#1, Jan 3 2004, 13:57:08)
[GCC 3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information. class inch(float):
.... def __new__(cls, v):
.... return float.__new__(c ls, v*0.0254)
.... inch(12)
0.3047999999999 9996
See the difference?

arguments then the value of `arg' above should be ignored. Instead,
the constructed object has the value 12. Where is this 12 passed to
the object being constructed?
To __new__. class Test(object):
... def __new__(cls):
... print "calling new"
... return object.__new__( cls)
... def __init__(self):
... print "calling init"
... Test()
calling new
calling init
<__main__.Tes t object at 0xbf491f0c>
...they are both called, but it is constructed in __new__. __new__
returns the object, while __init__ returns nothing. __init__ is actually
called after initialization, because the initialization happens when
object.__new__ is called. Because it is an immutable type, it cannot be
changed after it has been initialized, so __init__ can't thange it.

I have a class A from a third party that I cannot change
and is implemented in C. I derive my own class B from A
and add a couple new methods and override a method. The
problem is that A has a method (call it A.f() ) that creates
and returns a new A object. I need B.f() to return a B
object derived from A.f(). What is the best way to make
that happen?

As there is already __init__, why need a __new__?
What can __new__ give us while __init__ can't?
In what situations we should use __new__?

When you call a new-style class, the __new__ method is called with the
user-supplied arguments, followed by the __init__ method with the same
arguments.
I would like to modify the arguments after the __new__ method is called
but before the __init__ method, somewhat like this:
.... def __new__(cls, *args):
.... print "__new__", args

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
