I suppose you have something in mind like this (which is the only way
I can come up with to implement something like a 'final' class in pure
Python):
>>> class C(object):
... def __new__(cls):
... if cls is not C: raise TypeError, "haha"
... return object.__new__(cls)
...
>>> class D(C): pass
...
>>> a = D()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 3, in __new__
TypeError: haha
>>>
But how would you prevent this?
>>> a = C()
>>> a.__class__ = D
>>>
