I'm not sure Diez qualifies as a "novice". And since the OP makes reference to C++, I assume he's able to grasp the difference between a constructor and an initializer. > Actually you would have to ensure that the class's metaclass was <type > "type"> for that to be true. Classic classes don't *have* a __new__ method. Yes, true. Fact is I stopped using old-style classes some years ago, so I don't really remember what features they were missing.
