The official python doc (docs.python.org/3/reference/datamo...) makes it clear that __new__ is meant to be used as a static factory method that returns an instance of the target type. Then __init__ does some further editing to the instance from there. Ok, whatever.... programming is hard enough. No need to be pedantic about all of this. IMO it's almost always better to just lie to yourself and say __init__ is the constructor and you'll be just fine whether you're a beginner or not
