I like to establish a rule that *all* struct members must be initialized properly in the type's tp_new function.
I think this has always been a requirement. The result of the "new" operation must conform to all the requirements that the type's C code demands.
It's good to move work into __init__ where reasonable, so that it can be avoided if a subclass wants it done in a completely different way, but new can't work that way.
