was: tp_new implementation would call .NET constructor and return a fully constructed object now: Except for some special .NET types tp_new creates uninitialized .NET object, which is later initialized by calling __init__. __init__ is set using type dictionary to a MethodObject, that contains ConstructorInfo[] instead of MethodInfo[] This allows Python to: 1) freely override __init__ 2) when deriving from .NET types call base __init__ (e.g. .NET constructor), and choose the overload as needed fixes pythonnet#238
