[New-bugs-announce] [issue16160] subclassing types.SimpleNamespace does not work

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

Python 3.3.0+ (3.3:152d85b2da3a, Oct  6 2012, 13:17:54) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from types import SimpleNamespace
>>> class Foo(SimpleNamespace):
...   pass
... 
>>> y = Foo(bar=8, foo=9)
>>> y
namespace()

It doesn't work to define an __init__ method, either, which is what I really wanted to do.  (I was subclassing to get the nice repr).
