[AstroPy] Inheriting HDUList

[Joe Philip Ninan]

Hi,
Is there any online example of how to create a new child object from
HDUList of astropy.io.fits ?  (The object astropy.io.fits.open() returns).
I want to create an object class which inherits everything from HDUList,
and then add some additional functions.
The part i cannot figure out is how to initialize the HDUList inside the
new class.

class MyFitsObject(HDUList):
    def __init__(self,filename):
    # How do i initialise HDUList here, when all i have is the Fits File
name?

-cheers
joe
