[Python-Dev] innocent question ;-)

[Thomas Heller]

... about my beloved buffer object:

Would a patch to make the buffer object subclassable
be still accepted for 2.2, or does this fall under
the feature freeze?

Another question:
It is my understanding that makeing an object
subclassable also exposes its constructor to Python.

What is the signature of this constructor? Is the
three argument version xxx(name, bases, dict) always used
to return a new type object (Don Beaudry hook), and can other
signatures freely be used to creates objects/instances
of this type/class?
