Hello, I have (again) some issue using __new__. What I need is basically to catch an object creation and yield an object of an alternate type, when a condition is met.
Basically, the outline looks like: class Normal(object): def __new__(cls, arg): if cond(arg): # <yield instance of Special> # expression is simply: Special(arg) # must be __init__ialised ! # Conceptually, nothing to change: # <yield instance of Normal> # must be __init__ialised ! But I got issues in both cases: * cannot find how to get Special objects initialised * cannot find how to return Normal object (also Normal's supertype has no explicite __new__, but it has an __init__) Denis ------ la vita e estrany _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
