Thanks a lot for the reply.
But I want to do something like this
class BaseClass:
def __init__(self):
# Some code over here
def __init__(self, a, b):
# Some code over here
def __init__(self, a, b, c):
# some code here
baseclass1=BaseClass()
baseclass2=BaseClass(2,3)
baseclass3=BaseClass(4,5,3)

Subject: Re: Overloading __init__ & Function overloading
I may be reading this question different than Fredrik.
This example is with old-style classes.
class baseclass:
def __init__(self, arg):
#
# Do some initialization
#
def method1(self, arg):
#
# baseclass method goes here
#
class myclass(baseclass):
def __init__(self, arg):
#
# This method gets called when I instantiate this class.
# If I want to call the baseclass.__init__ method I must
# do it myself.
#
baseclass.__init__(arg)
def method1(self, arg):
#
# This method would replace method1 in the baseclass
# in this instance of the class.
#
myObj=myclass(arg)
I could be way off base, but maybe it will help.
