In the general case, constructing an object can be split into two subtasks: obtain a raw piece of storage able to manage the object's state; initialize the object's state. The first subtask is handled by "__new__", the second by "__init__".
Except that's not quite correct, because the cases where you need to override __new__ are ones where it does *more* than just allocate storage. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
