You do realise that both solutions are *not* strictky equilavent, do you?
class PsychoRigid(object):
def create(self):
return PsychoRigid()
class PsychoRigidChild(PsychoRigid):
pass
pr1 = PsychoRigidChild()
pr2 = pr1.create()
print "pr2 is a ", type(pr2)
class Virtual(object):
def create(self):
return self.__class__()
class VirtualChild(Virtual):
pass
vc1 = VirtualChild()
vc2 = vc1.create()
print "vc2 is a ", type(vc2)
My 2 cents...
