I think your understanding of Python needs to advance a little before
you start trying to do something like this. It's the __new__() method
you need to be overriding, not the __init__() method.
>>> class MyString(str):
... def __new__(cls, val):
... return str.__new__(cls, val)
...
>>> s = MyString("1234")
>>> s
'1234'
>>> type(s)
<class '__main__.MyString'>
>>>
