As such, Python object will be created using a static <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.create()</span></code> method. So we do not use the usual Python allocation mechanism.</li> <li>As it is a <em>static</em> method, there is no first argument.</li> <li>Python do not allow function overload like C++.
