I just found an article that describes it better, this example works: class C2(object): def __new__(cls, a): obj = object.__new__(cls) print "new called" obj.a = 8 return obj __new__ = staticmethod(__new__) def __init__(self, a): print "init called" self.a = a def fct(self): print self.a a = C2(7) a.fct() Best regards, Torsten. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
