I put the factory methods up near __init__, ahead of other methods. But
after most dunders. Here I mean things like this:
class Foo:
def __init__(....):
@classmethod
def from_bytes(cls, bs, ...):
... parse out of `bs` and then finish with something like ...
return cls(parsed-stuff)
which calls the "conventional" __init__ as normal.
And I often group methods of similar purpose together, rather than
alphabetically. For example, if there's a few methods for transribing
the object, they might land together.
