I've just been reading the above page, which is pretty new. It supersedes a now-defunct page, http://www.scipy.org/Subclasses. The unusual subclassing needs of an ndarray apparently arise, not from the fact that an ndarray is a C extension type, but because of numpy's special view casting and slicing requirements. While I don't believe this is highly relevant to the args/kwargs issues I have here, I thought that I should correct my earlier remark. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
