Chris Withers <ch...@simplistix.co.uk> added the comment: It's the fact that for immutable types, initialization is done in __new__ instead of __init__ that isn't documented anywhere.
This should be Python-level rather than C-level documentation. The example I gave in #msg76473 is confusing without docs anywhere that explain why this is. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4442> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
