[New-bugs-announce] [issue12538] Extending int class

[João Bernardo]

New submission from João Bernardo <jbvsmo at gmail.com>:

I'm having trouble subclassing the int type and I think this behavior is a bug... (Python 3.2)

>>> class One(int):
	def __init__(self):
		super().__init__(1)

>>> one = One()
>>> one + 2
2
>>> one == 0
True

I know `int` objects are immutable but my `One` class should be mutable... and why it doesn't raise an error?

That gives the same result on Python 2.7 using super properly.

Also, if that's not a bug, how it should be done to achieve "one + 2 == 3" without creating another attribute.

Things I also tried:
    self.real = 1  #readonly attribute error
    int.__init__(self, 1)  #same behavior

I Couldn't find any related issues... sorry if it's repeated.
