Overloading __init__ & Function overloading

[Iyer, Prasad C]

Thanks a lot for the reply.

But I want to do something like this

class BaseClass:
	def __init__(self):
		# Some code over here
	def __init__(self, a, b):
		# Some code over here
	def __init__(self, a, b, c):
		# some code here

baseclass1=BaseClass()
baseclass2=BaseClass(2,3)
baseclass3=BaseClass(4,5,3)




regards

I may be reading this question different than Fredrik.

This example is with old-style classes.

class baseclass:
    def __init__(self, arg):
        #
        # Do some initialization
        #

    def method1(self, arg):
        #
        # baseclass method goes here
        #

class myclass(baseclass):
    def __init__(self, arg):
        #
        # This method gets called when I instantiate this class.
        # If I want to call the baseclass.__init__ method I must
        # do it myself.
        #
        baseclass.__init__(arg)

    def method1(self, arg):
        #
        # This method would replace method1 in the baseclass
        # in this instance of the class.
        #

myObj=myclass(arg)

I could be way off base, but maybe it will help.
