我 不
认为用__new__()做你想要的东西是不正确的。换句话说，我不同意这个问题)的公认答案，该观点认为工厂功能始终是“最佳方法”。

如果您真的想避免使用它，则唯一的选择是元类或单独的工厂函数/方法。考虑到可用的选择，将__new__()方法设置为一种（因为默认情况下是静态的）是一种完全明智的方法。

也就是说，以下是我认为是代码的改进版本。我添加了几个类方法来帮助自动查找所有子类。它们支持更好的最重要方法-
现在添加子类不需要修改__new__()方法。这意味着它现在很容易扩展，因为它有效地支持了所谓的 虚拟构造函数 。

也可以使用类似的实现将实例的创建从__new__()方法中移到单独的（静态）工厂方法中-
因此，从某种意义上说，无论使用什么名称，所示技术都是一种相对简单的编码可扩展通用工厂函数的方法它给出了。

Python 3.6+更新

上面的代码可在Python 2和3.x中使用。但是，在Python
3.6中，object为named添加了一个新的类方法，__init_subclass__()该方法通过使用子类自动创建子类的“注册表”来简化子类的查找，而不必像上述_get_all_subclasses()方法那样递归地检查每个子类。
