Normally you would do # won't work class Array(array.array): def __init__(self, typecode, initalizer=(), mine=None): array.array.__init__(self, typecode, initializer) self.mine = mine However, array.array is a bit harder to subclass: # should work class Array(array.array): def __new__(cls, typecode, initializer=(), mine=None): return array.array.__new__(cls, typecode, initializer) def __init__(self, typecode, initializer=(), mine=None): array.array.__init__(self, typecode, initializer) self.mine = mine See if you can get away by making the array an attribute of your class instead.
