The top level class object has an empty __init__() which does nothing, so it will be called by __new__() > IN Java if you do not have a constructor specified java > calls a default constructor behind the scenes setting up memory. Remember that init() is an initialiser, not a constructor. The constructor is the rarely seen __new__() method. It is new() that sets up the memory then calls init(). So init is only used to initialise the object after it has been constructed.
Does python call default __init__ if one is not defined?
There is always one defined in object but it does nothing. There is also a default new() in object which is what sets up the memory etc and then calls init() Alan G _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
