     That's actually a fairly common question - is an object in
initialization, or has it been fully created?  It would be useful
if Python had some standard way to check if initialization
has completed.  Sometimes a parent class needs to know if
initialization of the entire object has completed.  This typically
comes up with classes that define "__setattr__" and are then
subclassed.
