Re: Magic?

[mk]

However, it appears that somehow this object prints the value of 's'
attribute without me setting any specific methods to do that:
>

>>astr = lstr('abcdef')
>>astr

'abcdef'

>>astr.swapcase ()

'ABCDEF'

Correction: it doesn't really get the value from _s attribute:

>>astr = lstr('abcdef')
>>astr.s

'abcdef'

>>astr.s='xyzzy '
>>astr

'abcdef'

>>astr.s

'xyzzy'


So my updated question is where does this lstr() instance keep the
original value ('abcdef')? It obviously has smth to do with inheriting
after str class, but I don't get the details of the mechanism.
