I just wanted to point out that your

self._x = self.new

does not give you a new object. Instead, _x is assigned a reference that
points to this object called 'new', which is passed in during the class
initialisation. I think your variable naming needs some improvement to
show/correct your understanding.

Also, you can just use `x` and `y` for the variable names; you don't need
the underscore. If you want to use a pseudo-private variable, use __x
(double prefix underscore) instead.

Cheers,
