Do you absolutely need the functionality to be in the __init__ method,
or does something like the following work:
>>> IDs={}
>>> class ID: pass
>>> def factory(ident):
if ident in IDs:
instance=IDs[ident]
else:
instance=ID()
IDs[ident]=instance
return instance
>>> g=factory(1)
>>> h=factory(2)
>>> i=factory(1)
>>> g,h,i
(<__main__.ID instance at 0x00A45FD0>, <__main__.ID instance at
0x00A4B918>, <__main__.ID instance at 0x00A45FD0>)
>>>
