Nope. Obviously, array.array doesn't respect the usual rules.

I think this must be something along this line.

Let's see :

from array import array

class Vector(array):
    def __new__(cls, size):
        v = super(Vector, cls).__new__(cls, 'f')
        #print "v is %s" % v
        return v
    def __init__(self, size):
        self.size = size

v = Vector(42)
print v
