That's actually true... but that's assuming you have a superclass. Perhaps I should have been clearer, but when I say 'if not present' I mean 'if not present anywhere in the class hierarchy' reply

That's only for new-style classes actually. I haven't written about __new__ yet, I'll add that part later. Or feel free to. reply

You know you can just edit the thing... reply

Still in first section(!!!):"If not present, nothing is called and life goes on."NOOOO!!!!!If not present, an implicit call to the superclass's __init__ method is made.I didn't get beyond the first... more reply

x.__init__(...) <!=> Class(...)- WHAT!? NO!!! Object instantiation implies a call to __new__ to do resource allocation. __init__ only sets initial state!Why did you write this if you have NO... more reply

FAIL on 1st line!Class.__init__(...) <==> x.__init__(...)- NO!!! Calling a method on an instance passes self as an implicit first parameter. reply
