[Q] override __init__() method of classes implemented in C

[Makoto Kuwata]

Is it impossible to override __init__() method of classes
implemented in C (such as datetime.datetime) ?


example.py:

from datetime import datetime
 class Foo(datetime):
    def __init__(self):
        pass
 obj = Foo()


Result (Python 2.7.7 and 3.4.1):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hoge.py", line 7, in <module>
    obj = Foo()
TypeError: Required argument 'year' (pos 1) not found


It seems to be failed to override datetime.__init__() in subclass.
