[issue36827] Overriding __new__ method with itself changes behaviour of the class

[Alexey Muranov]

Alexey Muranov <alexey.muranov at gmail.com> added the comment:

The issue is the following: i expect overriding a method with itself to not change behaviour of the class.  I do not see how my understanding of `__new__` or its point could be relevant.

Do we agree that overriding a method with itself should not change behaviour?  Is there a more correct way to do it than

    def foo(self, *args, **kwarg):
        # possible extensions
        # ...
        super(__class__, self).foo(*args, **kwarg)

(modified accordingly for class and static methods)?

When I do not override `__new__`, I expect Python to use `object`'s `__new__` (or at least pretend that it does). Therefore there should be no difference in behaviour.
