This isn't at all unique to Python. You'd get the same results in java or
any other language.
public class Foo {
int a;
public Foo(int a) {
this.a = a;
}
public Foo clone() {
return new Foo(this.a);
}
}
public class Bar extends Foo {
public Bar() {
super(0);
}
}
What type do you think (new Bar()).clone() is going to return?
