Description Todd 2013-03-17 11:29:49 UTC 
Pretty much all python methods should have "self" as their first argument.  One key exception, however, is __new__.  This special method is supposed to have "cls" as its first argument, since it operates on a class rather than an instance.  

However, when __new__ is properly given "cls" as its first argument, kdev-python incorrectly labels this as a problem and says that it should be "self".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a class
2. Create a "__new__" method
3. make "cls" the first argument of the __new__method
Actual Results:  
kdev-python says it should be "self"

Expected Results:  
kdev-python finds no error.

kdev-python really should label it as a problem if anything other than "cls" is the first argument in the __new__ method.
