[IronPython] Initialisation of .NET Subclasses

[Michael Foord]

Hello all,

I'm wondering about best practise when subclassing Windows Forms 
controls. I have a vague memory of hearing that initialisation is done 
in the '__new__' methods of .NET controls, so that '__init__' overrides 
*need not* call up to their base class. Is this correct, or was I 
hallucinating ?

In other words, is the following ok :

class MainForm(Form):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

Or should I be doing :

class MainForm(Form):
    def __init__(self):
        Form.__init__(self)

?

All the best,

Michael Foord
