An example will speak better than me:

class Card(object):
    __cards = {}

    def __init__(self, number, suit):
        self.number, self.suit = number, suit

    def __new__(cls, number, suit):
        try:
            return cls.__cards[(number, suit)]
        except KeyError:
            obj = object.__new__(cls, number, suit)
            cls.__cartas[(number, suit)] = obj
            return obj
