Thanks, Bruno, you gave me the clue to a less ugly workaround.
In my particular case, when I do subclass Test, y is always True.
Therefore I can rewrite it like this -
class Test2(Test):
def __init__(self,x):
Test.__init__(self,x,True)
def getx2(self):
print x*3
As you suggested, I redefine getx2 instead of getx, and it works as I
want.
Slightly less insane, I hope ;-)
