Hi, here's something that puzzles me:
>>> class Fix_Point (long):
def __init__ (self, l):
long.__init__ (self, l * 0x10000):
>>> fp = Fix_Point (99)
>>> fp
99
With prints:
>>> class Fix_Point (long):
def __init__ (self, l):
print l
l_ = l * 2
print l_
long.__init__ (self, l_)
print self
>>> fp = Fix_Point (99)
99
198
99
I have tried dozens of variations: type casts, variables, ... nothing
doing. Fix_Point instances always get the argument assigned regardless
of the transformation __init__ () performs on it prior to calling
long.__init__ (). Looks like long.__init__ () isn't called at all. Any
idea anyone what's going on?
