[issue42334] Subclassing int and complex with keyword arguments weird

[Dennis Sweeney]

Dennis Sweeney <sweeney.dennis650 at gmail.com> added the comment:

This is because int, str, and complex are immutable. If I have 

    class MyInt(int):
        def __init__(self, stuff):
            pass

then when I call MyInt("19"), the string "19" is passed to the constructor int.__new__ before the overridden initializer MyInt.__init__. You can only override that by implementing a MyInt.__new__ to override the int constructor.

This is not a bug.
