I changed the title again. Does it looks fine now?

I thought you changed the title, it definitely wasn't what I remembered seeing.

I think it would be useful to understand exactly what internal functions are called every time a new instance is created, for instance __new__ and __init__, are there any others?

There is also __del__ which is called but it is not needed to make because it de-allocates the object. I think it functions like a destructor.
