    <p>Recently I read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6760685/creating-a-singleton-in-python">an interesting discussion on how to make a singleton in Python</a>. One of the solutions was a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6810621/862380">tricky decorator defining a class inside its code as a substitute for decorated class</a>:</p> <pre><code>def singleton(class_): class class_w(class_): _instance = None def __new__(class2, *args, **kwargs): if class_w._instance is None: class_w._instance = super(class_w, class2).__new__(class2, *args, **kwargs) class_w._instance._sealed = False return class_w._instance def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): if self._sealed: return super(class_w, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) self._sealed = True class_w.__name__ = class_.__name__ return class_w @singleton class MyClass(object): def __init__(self, text): print text @classmethod def name(class_): print class_.__name__ x = MyClass(111) x.name() y = MyClass(222) print id(x) == id(y) </code></pre> <p>Output is:</p> <pre><code>111 # the __init__ is called only on the 1st time MyClass # the __name__ is preserved True # this is actually the same instance </code></pre> <p>It is stated, that if we use <code>super(MyClass, self).__init__(text)</code> inside <code>__init__</code> of <code>MyClass</code>, we get into <strong>recursion</strong>.</p> <p>I tested and indeed the recursion happens. But, as I understand, <code>MyClass</code> inherits <code>object</code>, so <code>super(MyClass, self)</code> should just merely be <code>object</code>, but it turns out that <code>super(MyClass, self)</code> is <code>__main__.MyClass</code></p> <p>Could you explain what happens here step by step for me to understand the reasons why the recursion happens?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
