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. ---------- nosy: +Dennis Sweeney _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
