[Python-Dev] Odd new-style class new behavior (original) (raw)

Suppose I define:

class Foo(object): def new(cls): return 1

class Bar(object): def new(cls): return [1,2,3]

Python 2.2 returns: print Foo()

1 print Bar() []

I would expect that Bar() should return [1,2,3]. Am I running into some clever undocumented feature or a bug?

Thanks, -Kevin
