Don't futz with __new__, preventing effective subclassing of BitArray #121

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi there,

It's difficult to subclass BitArray at the moment, due to the magic that 
happens in __new__.

It would be lovely if the following evaluated to True:

class MyBitArray(bitstring.BitArray): pass
MyBitArray().__class__ == MyBitArray

Cheers,
N

I see your point - never noticed that before. I probably am being too clever 
for myself in __new__. Should be fixed in the next version.
