Re: Magic?

mk
However, it appears that somehow this object prints the value of 's'
attribute without me setting any specific methods to do that:
>>astr = lstr('abcdef')
>>astr
'abcdef'
>>astr.swapcase()
'ABCDEF'
Correction: it doesn't really get the value from _s attribute:
>>astr = lstr('abcdef')
astr.s
'abcdef'
>>astr.s='xyzzy'
astr
'abcdef'
>>astr.s
'xyzzy'
So my updated question is where does this lstr() instance keep the
original value ('abcdef')? It obviously has smth to do with inheriting
after str class, but I don't get the details of the mechanism.
