creating class objects inside methods

[horos11]

All,

I've got a strange one..

I'm trying to create a class object inside another class object by
using the code template below (note.. this isn't the exact code.. I'm
having difficulty reproducing it without posting the whole thing)

Anyways, the upshot is that the first time the Myclass() constructor
is called, the __init__ function gets executed.. The second time, it
calls the '__call__' method (and dies, because I don't have a call
method defined).

To get around this, I've made __call__ a synonym of __init__, which is
a horrid hack, and doesn't help me much (since I don't have a good
idea what's going on).

So - anyone have an idea of what's going on here? It looks like the
second time, the Myclass() call is interpreted as a class instance,
not a  class object, but that seems odd to me.. Is this a python bug?
I'm seeing it in 2.6..If necessary, I can post the whole piece of
code..

class Myclass:

    def __init__(self, b='default1', c='default2'):

        self.b = b;
        self.c = c;

    def function(self):

         other = Myclass();
         return(other)

a = Myclass();

b = a.function()
