[New-bugs-announce] [issue3630] Unable to inherit bytes: bytes.__init__() doesn't accept arguments

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <haypo at users.sourceforge.net>:

Example:

   class MyBytes(bytes):
      def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
         bytes.__init__(self, *args, **kw)
   a = bytes(b"hello")   # ok
   b = MyBytes(b"hello") # error

=> DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters

The example works fine in Python 2.6 but fails in Python 3.0.
