[Tutor] __init__ arguments storage

Hi All,

In between an object's creation and call to __init__, where are the __init__
arguments stored?  Is there a class dictionary that init uses to initialize
the instance?  I tried printing Class.__init__, but they aren't in there.

The reason I ask is that I was trying to track down a bug where it looked
like an argument was being mis-passed and I wanted to use pdb to see how it
was handled pre- and post-init.

Cheers,
Rob
