Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis...@gmail.com> added the comment:
This is because int, str, and complex are immutable. If I have
class MyInt(int):
def __init__(self, stuff):
pass
then when I call MyInt("19"), the string "19" is passed to the constructor
int.__new__ before the overridden initializer MyInt.__init__. You can only
override that by implementing a MyInt.__new__ to override the int constructor.
This is not a bug.
