Secondly, it lacks generality. I suggest the following code as a more suitable replacement:\r\n\r\n```python\r\ndef make(the_class, *args, **kwargs):\r\n    new_object = the_class.__new__(the_class, *args, **kwargs)\r\n    if isinstance(new_object, the_class):\r\n        the_class.__init__(new_object, *args, **kwargs)\r\n    return new_object\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/kamalfarahani","@type":"Person","name":"kamalfarahani"},"datePublished":"2024-10-30T12:22:09.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/47/example-code-2e/issues/47"}
