Constructor

[Rajesh1978]

Hi All,
Just wanted to know in what scenario we need to override the constructor in python?
And how to do that?

Thanks

Python doesn't have by-name overloading like you might see in C++ or Java. It does have named and optional parameters, which can be used to get "overloaded" behavior. You do this by (for example) providing a default value of None, then checking the value inside the single "constructor" (which is usually called an initializer in this case, the __init__ method).
