subtyping a builtin type in a C extension

[shawn]

I am trying to make a subtype of a string. Initially it will have no
new methods or attributes, the C equivalent of:

class myStr(str):
pass

I have experimented a bit, but am currently making a mess of it. Does
anybody have an example they can point to of inheriting from a builtin,
or a suggestion to point me in the right direction?

The Python source distribution contains an example module xxsubtype that
shows how to subclass builtins:

Thank you. I should have looked for this sort of example. That was
exactly what I needed.

I don't ask for help here very often, but when I have, I have ALWAYS
gotten faster results than with any commercial support option I have
used. We have a good developer community
