If I have a class hierarchy like so:class A(object): def __init__(self, s): self.s = s def foo(self, s): return A(s) class B(A): def __init__(self, s): A.__init__(self, s) If I make a B: b = B(0) I'd like b.foo(1) to return an instance of B. Is there a way to do that besides implementing a construct(self, s) for each part of the hierarchy? I.e. is there a way for the base class to look at self and find out what type to create? I'm using Python 2.7.5, but I'm curious what the 3.x answer is too.
I'm confused, can you please explain what you're trying to achieve rather than how you're trying to achieve it and I'm sure that others will give better answers than I can :)
