 * **New() is a class method that gets called before init(). If it returns an instance of its class, then that instance gets passed to init() as a 'self' argument.**
-* **It receives the same arguments as init(), except for the first one that specifies the desired class of the returned instance (MyMetaClass in our case).**

 ### Metaclass Attribute
 **Right before a class is created it checks if it has a 'metaclass' attribute defined. If not, it recursively checks if any of his parents has it defined and eventually comes to type().**
