If you need multiple factories you can do so but to do what you're
asking requires both a factory and an instance method initializer,
just like __new__ is a class method and __init__ is an instance
method. One creates and one initializes what is already created.

A lot of my code supplement/replace the constructor with class factory
methods.
So, instead of:
> a= A(...)
I would write:
> a = A.from_file(...)
> a = A.create(...)
etc.
This is implemented as follows:
class A:
def __init__(self, ...): pass
@classmethod
def from_file(cls, ):
