Hello
For my understanding both - __init__() and __new__() works like constructors.
And __new__() looks is closer to constructor. __init__() is more for variable
initialization. Why I can't just initialize in __init__() ?
class ExampleClass(object):
def __new__(cls,value):
print("creating new instance with val %s" % (value,) )
instance = super(ExampleClass,cls).__new__(cls)
return instance
def __init__(self, value):
print("Initialising instance... with val %s" % (value,))
self.payload = value
exampleInstance = ExampleClass(42)
print(exampleInstance.payload)
