Sorry to put here too many questions about __init__ __new__
stuff but I always found a new problem when using them.
I have searched for simple __new__ docs on how to do the
basic things but find none.
After trying the solutions people gently posted here
(thanks) I run into new trouble when I go with further
development.
Here is the new situation.
As suggested in a previous post, I used __new__ to
subclass date class but now cPickle/pickle loads
does not work.
from datetime import date
import cPickle,string
class MyDate(date):
def __new__(cls,yea r,month=None,da y=None):
if type(year) is str:
year,month,day= map(int,string. split(year,'-'))
if year<100:
year+=2000
return date.__new__(cl s,year,month,da y)
class C1(object):
def __init__(self):
self.x=MyDate(" 2007-3-15")
def f(self):
print self.x
c1=C1()
d=cPickle.dumps (c1)
c2=cPickle.load s(d)
c2.f()
1. year is passed to __new__ as a string but with invalid
contents!
2. If I had a __new__ in class C1, cPickle.loads invokes it
with only one parameter. This forces to allow __new__ accept
only 1 parameter (cls) which I don't want for the normal
situation.
Thanks for your patience.

I haven't tried your code but I think that you may need to define a
__reduce__ method in your MyDate class in order to give a clue to the
python as to how to pickle its instances. For more details see: http://docs.python.org/lib/node321.html
Something like:
class MyDate(date):
...
def __reduce__(self ):
return type(self), (self.year, self.month, self.day)
might solve your problem.

Any special reason you have to use __new__ for this factory method?
This version works, without the problems with __new__:
def getDate(*args):
if isinstance(args[0],basestring):
year,month,day = map(int,string. split(args[0],'-'))
else:
year,month,day = args
if year < 100:
year += 2000
return date(year,month ,day)
class C1(object):
def __init__(self):
#self.x=MyDate( "2007-3-15")
self.x = getDate("2007-3-15")
def f(self):
print self.x

Thanks. This works exactly the way you wrote.
Yet I am misunderstandin g something. Can't pickle "see" that being
MyDate derived from date it also has to look at variables from date?
When do I need to do this? I am using pickle with a lot more complex
classes without this problem.
Thank you

Without the MyDate.__reduce __ method, Python uses the
datetime.date._ _reduce__ method to pickle your MyDate instances, then
it uses MyDate.__new__ to unpickle them. But your MyDate.__new__
method does not understand the format of a pickled date. You could
also change the MyDate.__new__ method so that it does understand it,
but it wouldn't be that easy as you want it to accept a string, and
this is the format that dates are pickled in.

Not an answer to your question, just a couple advices:
from datetime import date
import cPickle,string
The string module is mostly deprecated. You should use str type methods
whenever possible (cf below)
class MyDate(date):
def __new__(cls,yea r,month=None,da y=None):
if type(year) is str:
And what if it's a unicode string ?
The correct idiom here is:
if isinstance(year , basestring):
year,month,day= map(int,string. split(year,'-'))
year, month, day = map(int, year.split('-'))
if year < 100:
year += 2000
return date.__new__(cl s,year,month,da y)

Thanks.
If I do type(year) I get either int or str (may be unicode for unicode
strings) but never anything like basestring. As a relatively inexperient
in python, how could I know that a 'string' is an instance of
basestring? x=u"xxxxxx"; help(x) says this is unicode based on
basestring but help does not "work" for x="xxxxxxxx".
May be the python tutorial should be upgraded to include these new
concepts. Also covering the basics of __init__/__new__ (why have both?)
would be nice.

isinstance(x, basestring)
This works because basestring is defined as the
tuple (str, unicode) and isinstance accepts a
tuple of types as well as just a single type.

The idea is right, but the detail is completely wrong.
basestring is a *type*.
>>basestring
<type 'basestring'>
It's the base class of which both str and unicode are subclasses.

Sometimes (but not always) the __new__ method of one of my classes
returns an *existing* instance of the class. However, when it does
that, the __init__ method of the existing instance is called
nonetheless, so that the instance is initialized a second time. For
example, please consider the following class (a singleton in this case):

I'm been trying to create some custom classes derived from some of

Hi,
the behaviour I always observed when creating instances by calling the
class A is that '__init__' is always only called when the object
returned by A.__new__ is an instance of A. This can be observed by the
following code:

def __new__(cls, *args, **kwds):

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

i have some questions related to new style classes, they look

I just see that when using it i can't give parameters to __new__
and when i additionally define __init__ then __new__ is not
called.

if the class is instantiated with a string, then run a method over it
