First point : __init_ is *not* the constructor. It's the initializer.
The constructor is named __new__. You'll find more about __new__ here:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/descrintro/#__new__
Second point: 'self' is just an ordinary local variable. So rebinding it
has no effect outside the function.

Learn to post a full traceback ?-)
(Sorry, just kidding.)
FWIW, I don't know which problem you're trying to solve this way, but
there may (conditional...) be better solutions. Like using a factory
function...
