[Python-Dev] 2.6 object.__init__ & deling __new__

[Dino Viehland]

I'm updating IronPython to match CPython's behavior w/ for this issue:

http://bugs.python.org/issue1683368

One thing that I've noticed is that this doesn't seem to be respecting the deletion of attributes (on 2.6.2):

class x(object): pass

x().__init__(2,3,4) # throws - seems right

class x(object):
    def __new__(cls, *args):
            return object.__new__(cls)

x().__init__(2,3,4)  # doesn't throw - seems right

del x.__new__
x().__init__(2,3,4) # doesn't throw - I would expect this to throw.

Is this just a bug in CPython not updating whether __new__ has been defined?  Or is there something that makes this behavior expected which I'm just missing?
