No method overloadin I suppose ?

[Thomas SMETS]

## Beginning of Python program ...
class Lister:
  def __init__(self):
    print 'In constructor ...'
    __init__(1)

  def __init__(self, lValue):
    print 'In constructor with parameter'
    self.l = lValue

  def __repr__(self):
    print '\n******\n\tValue is : ', l, '\n********'

if __name__ == "__main__":
  x = Lister()
  y = Lister (2)
## End of python program

Trace of execution is :
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "Minheritence.py", line 14, in ?
  x = Lister()
TypeError: not enough arguments; expected 2, got 1
End of trace ...

I guess I can't do methods overloadin', as shown... WHY is that ? I'm
wrong ?

Thomas,
