Hello,

I just found an article that describes it better, this example works:

class C2(object):
    def __new__(cls, a):
        obj = object.__new__(cls)
        print "new called"
        obj.a = 8

        return obj

    __new__ = staticmethod(__new__)


    def __init__(self, a):
        print "init called"
        self.a = a

    def fct(self):
        print self.a


a = C2(7)
a.fct()


Best regards,
Torsten.
