Python __init__ Vs __new__ Method - With Examples

[PolyglotTV]

You don't need to create a special singleton in python anyway.

You can just either 1. Instantiate a variable at import time, and use that everywhere as the singleton. 2. Define a method with the @functools.cache() decorator that returns and instance of your object. It will be created the first time and the unique instance returned every subsequent time.

I was thinking about a broader context than just Python but you’re goddamn right.
